It's June, so that means we're right around the corner from our important Federal Election Commission deadline: At the end of this month, we’ll have an "end-of-quarter" deadline, closing our “Q2,” which is the second quarter of the election year.

This will be the last full quarterly FEC fundraising deadline before the Republican National Convention, and before we know our Republican opponent.

So it's a big one. The most important of the campaign to-date.

Campaigns say that a lot, and you deserve to know why it's so important — especially since we're going to be sending a lot of emails about it. Let me try to illustrate that for you.

See this tweet from a Detroit News Business reporter?

Melissa Nann Burke Tweet: "Take-away from FEC's Monday deadline:
- Dem Slotkin reamins dominat in $ front
- GOP Pensler still fighting, putting in $2M on the last day of the quarter
- GOP Rogers outraged by several US House Candidates in Michigan
#MiSen"


It's from after the last quarterly FEC fundraising deadline reports were filed.

Everyone looks at them. The press, our opponents, and especially outside spending entities looking to see if we are vulnerable to attack as they decide where to allocate their resources.

For us, if we file a good report, maybe some of those super PACs decide to move on from our race. File a bad report, and all bets are off.

Add to that, the fundraising goals we set for these FEC deadlines are not arbitrary. They are important markers that we base spending decisions off. They are what we need to reach in order to win.

So yes, this is the most important FEC fundraising deadline of the campaign so far. And yes, our April and May fundraising was less than we had hoped for. So we're really banking on a big month to catch up before we file our report. And we can't do that without people who care enough about the outcome of this race to make a difference. So please:

Can I count on you to use this link to make a contribution before our FEC fundraising deadline ends? Our average online donation is around $30. Some give more. Others give less. But if we get lots and lots of donations of all amounts, we'll reach our goals.
