John,

We are about to start door-knocking, but we're missing one thing:

Campaign Lit!

Our fundraising deadline is in 3 days and our goal is 37 grassroots donors before the deadline. I just checked this morning and we've seen 21 donations come in since May first. Amazing! But that means we are still 16 donations away. Can you chip in $17 today and help us reach our goal so we can print our campaign literature and start knocking doors?

Campaigning is time-intensive and expensive. Printing costs alone are going to eat into a big part of the budget, but it is one of our most important campaigning tools because that is how we really connect with new voters.

When you are out walking around a neighborhood, knocking on doors, and sharing why you are a part of this campaign, what you need is something to hand the voter. I wish I had the time and skill to make thousands of cookies with my face on them (that would just be more fun and delicious), but printed campaign literature is the next best thing!

These are the materials that people can read after we leave the doorstep. A reminder of what we stand for and why we are fighting for Iowans. This is the next big step in our reelection campaign and I hope you will be a part of it. So, if you are committed to joining the fight for a better Iowa and electing more Democrats in Iowa, then chip in today and let's start knocking doors.

Stand Tall for All,

J.D.
