John,
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee just released their March fundraising numbers. The DCCC raised $14,300,000 in March and has over $80,000,000 in the bank.
We’re aiming to raise $175,000 this month to support our slate of endorsed candidates and help them win, that’s just 1.22% of what the DCCC raised last month. But we’re currently tracking 9% behind where we should be on our fundraising if we’re going to hit our goal before the month ends.
We did the math and we need two folks from xxxxxx to chip in today in order to help us catch up on reaching our goal before midnight on the 30th.
The DCCC is going to do everything it can behind the scenes to support entrenched incumbents like Richard Neal (MA-01) and Eliot Engel (NY-16) and they have millions of dollars in the bank at their disposal.
Unlike the DCCC, we don’t take a dime from corporations, special interest PACs or corporate lobbyists. Our budget and the support we offer our endorsed candidates comes directly from grassroots donations made in response to emails like this one.
If we can catch up on our fundraising and hit our April goal, it would be huge for our movement because taking on the establishment and the DCCC’s blacklist takes resources.
Thank you for everything,
Justice Democrats
