John —

In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution toward our last mid-quarter fundraising deadline before Election Day. But first, let me explain why your support is so incredibly important, especially right now.

At the end of September, my team will send a quarterly fundraising report to the Federal Election Commission detailing how much we’ve raised and how many folks have pitched in over the last three months. Shortly after, that report will be made public for everyone to see. It’s all part of an important effort to keep honesty and transparency at the forefront of political fundraising.

Our fundraising numbers will be treated as a temperature gauge for our campaign’s momentum by major news outlets, pollsters, and especially by our opposition.

Republicans will be itching to see if we’re showing any sign of weakness and will use this public report as a way to make final investment decisions before Election Day in order to potentially tip the scales in their favor.

It’s important that we hit our goal before the deadline and prove that we have what it takes to protect this seat.

That’s why your support is so important right now. Can I count on you to chip in today to help us finish this last FEC quarter strong and boost our campaign’s momentum in the last 12 weeks leading up to Election Day?

Thank you for being with me every step of the way.
