After June 30, we’ll submit a report to the Federal Election Commission and our numbers will be made public. This will be an indicator of how strong our grassroots support is, and Republicans will be looking for any sign of weakness.
That’s why it’s so important that we get back on track as soon as possible! Republicans are gearing up for the election season, and we need to not only keep on pace with them — we need to outrun and outraise them if we’re going to take back the House in November.
It’s going to take a swell of grassroots support to do that, and I wouldn’t be asking if it weren’t essential to our goals this year. If we don’t take our deadlines and goals seriously, Republicans will take advantage of our weakness. We can’t give them the upper hand in this election.
