 Hey team – it’s Blakely, Janelle’s campaign manager, and I’ll be honest: This is not the email I want to send. But we are a grassroots campaign through and through, so I want to keep you all as informed as possible… even when it’s bad news. I just finished running our pre-primary fundraising numbers for these final 12 days, and it looks like online fundraising has started to slow down. Again, I don’t want to freak you out… but I’m ringing the alarm bells. I’ll explain more in a second, but to stay competitive in these final 12 days, we need to get back on track in the next 12 hours. And with so much at stake, we can’t afford to fall short. That’s why I’m personally asking: Will you pitch in $5 to help us raise the money we need to get across the finish line on May 21 to send Janelle to Congress?
Look, these campaign budgets and daily fundraising goals aren’t arbitrary. These are exact calculations of the amount we need to raise – each and every day – in order to keep our TV ads on the air, fuel our on-the-ground organizing operation, and turn out the voters we need to reach in this final stretch. I can’t overstate just how important each and every dollar is to our campaign operation in these final 12 days.
Thank you! Blakely Wall, Campaign Manager |
