Hey there, John: it’s Dick. I wish I had better news, but we fell short of our mid-month fundraising goal yesterday.

At the end of this month, we will close the books on our end of quarter deadline and my finance team will get started on compiling a report to send to the Federal Election Commission. Shortly after, our fundraising numbers will go public.

There's really no way around it: If we send a weak report, everyone from the press to Donald Trump to national Republicans will think the Senate is ripe for the taking.

So, I am asking you to donate to my campaign to help ensure we hit our target for the quarter and report the strongest numbers possible to the FEC.

I know it's getting late, John, but if you're able, will you please make a contribution today to help us reach our mid-month fundraising goal before midnight? [[link removed]]

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.
