Team—

In just a moment I am going to ask you to split a $25 contribution between my campaign for U.S. Senate in Arizona and the GA Dems. Please, give me a chance to explain why this request is so important.

Here goes:

Trump is going to have a town hall in North Phoenix today, later this afternoon. It’s his first visit to Arizona since 2022. It’s his first major public appearance since he was charged with 34 felonies last week. And it’s a huge sign of how important Arizona is to his re-election.

The GOP has seen a massive increase in their fundraising since Trump’s verdict last week. The Trump campaign took in more than $140 million in May, with $70 million coming in the 48 hours after that verdict. Kari Lake is sure to be raking in the cash right now, too.

That couldn’t possibly happen at a worse time for us. June is an official FEC deadline month, and once we hit that deadline we’re legally required to report our numbers. It is critical that we show strength.

But while Trump and Kari Lake are filling their coffers, we’re emptying ours. We’re spending millions right now, but our fundraising continues to slow down. If we don’t pick up the pace we are in serious trouble.

Trump and Lake will do whatever they can to win Arizona. That’s why he’s coming to Phoenix, and it’s why he’ll probably attack me directly this afternoon. He’s got to tear down my campaign to win this state.

So, I need your help. I need a huge fundraising day today, and I need you to chip in before he takes the stage. This could not be more important — really.

Can you make today the day you make a split $25 contribution to my campaign for U.S. Senate? The amount we raise is important here, but not nearly as important as the amount of donations we receive. I need all of my top supporters today. I need you, FIRST.

This is an important day for this campaign. One of the most important so far. Thanks in advance for making it a big one.
