Team — we’re approaching one of the last official quarterly FEC deadlines of this campaign.

With that important deadline coming up fast, we’ve had to make a difficult decision. And we felt we owed it to you to explain it.

The polls show Arizona is one of the most competitive states in the country. Ruben Gallego, a longtime member of VoteVets and a Veteran of the Iraq war, is running against Kari Lake in Arizona’s U.S. Senate campaign.

A race like that is going to cost millions of dollars to win, and believe us: it is critical that Ruben wins. Kari Lake is as dangerous a politician as there is these days, a direct threat to our democracy.

The trouble is, our fundraising just hasn’t been as strong as we anticipated this year. With Ruben under attack we knew we had to defend him, but the money wasn’t in the budget.

We knew what we had to do, though. We greenlit the spend, even though we weren’t sure how we’d cover the cost. VoteVets is running more than $700,000 in ads in Arizona right now, a serious amount.

We’re not telling you this to brag, Test. We’re telling you because we need your help. If you’re with us, and if you can afford it, can you chip in to help cover the cost?

Use this link to chip in $5, or anything you can. It would go a long way towards filling our budget gap after we started running those as. If we raise more, we can do more. If we don’t, we’ll have to pull back — and that could hurt our chances this November.

Thank you in advance for chipping in,

The Team at VoteVets
