Team, we wanted to make sure you caught this urgent email from Pat.
According to FiveThirtyEight, Pat is in a statistical tie with his MAGA-backed GOP opponent, Alison Esposito. This comes just days after she was announced as Pat's official opponent.
Tomorrow's end-of-quarter deadline was already the most important fundraising milestone for our campaign so far this year, but this new poll makes it abundantly clear that if we fall short of our goals, the floodgates will open for GOP megadonors and right-wing super PACs to ramp up their attacks on Pat like never before.
We're grateful to see that this grassroots team has stepped up to respond, but according to our numbers, we're still about $8,775 short of our goal with just over 24 hours to go until tomorrow's deadline.
So please, take a moment to read Pat's message below and chip in to help us meet our end-of-quarter fundraising goal before it's too late. Thank you.

Hi there – wanted to send you a quick update: we just got a brand new poll that you have to see.
According to FiveThirtyEight, me and my far-right opponent Alison Esposito – who has promised to help enact a nationwide abortion ban and take away a once-protected freedom from millions of Americans – are TIED, 43% - 43%.
I know that if we have the resources to tell voters about my record we can win, but I need your help.
Our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is coming up this Sunday, and we need to raise another $47,243 to hit our goal so we can share my record with voters and win this November. Can you make a contribution to help us get there?
