John—it’s Shelbi, Jon’s Campaign Manager.
I’m going to be candid here since you’re a top supporter: We are behind on our April fundraising goal right now. If we don’t catch up, we’ll have to scale back our budget. This note from our finance director can shed some more light.
I’m reaching out directly to the people who can give us the best chance to catch up. And since you haven’t donated to Jon’s campaign yet, I’m asking you personally to step up with anything you can contribute before midnight tonight.

To: Shelbi Dantic
Hey Shelbi, here’s the update you asked for.
We’re falling short on our April fundraising goal. As of 1:45 PM, we need to raise another $56,827.94.
To be blunt, we’re just not seeing the same number of people donating that we saw in March. The team is pretty confused about this because we keep saying this is our most important goal to date.
We’ve tried talking about tightening polls, and how terrible Tim Sheehy is on the issues. We’ve even asked people to pitch in their spare change. But we’re still behind.
If we miss this goal, we’ll need to make some cuts to the budget. I know you don’t want to do that.
Any chance you can reach out to our top supporters and ask them to pitch in?

Thanks,
