Friend —
Let's take a moment to talk about these FEC fundraising deadlines and the emails that clog your inbox about them.
First, our FEC deadline tomorrow is actually is a real deadline. It is a pre-primary deadline and the last one before the general election starts in Michigan. 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 -- especially this one. 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.
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.
