Friend —

Let's take a moment to talk about these FEC fundraising deadlines and the emails that are probably severely clogging your inbox about them.

First, this deadline on June 30 (Sunday) actually is a real deadline. And when it ends, we're legally required to report not just how much money we've raised, but how much of it comes from large donations vs. smaller donations.

Those reports are also made public and I can tell you from experience that a lot of people are looking at them. The press looks, our opponents look, potential outside spending operations look...

They want to see the strength of our campaign financially. They want to see if we have small-dollar grassroots support that is sustainable in a way large donations are not. And critically, some of the big-money super PACs want to see if we're vulnerable to an attack we can't afford to respond to.

So these very real deadlines are important. They are not like the fake deadlines that you see from a lot of other campaigns (never ours). And it's why every donation made in response to emails like this one matters. That's why we ask so much.

Can I count on you to contribute $3 (or more if you can) before our official quarterly FEC fundraising deadline comes to a close on Sunday? Believe me, I would not be asking if it were not so important.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:

Thank you in advance for contributing before this deadline. It means a lot to me personally.
