John,
Clearly, this was a critical month for keeping Lucy in Congress. While all of us are adapting to a new normal, we moved all of our business to virtual.
It was a month where our opponent Karen Handel released a poll showing her up on us by two full points, and then attacked us on email and social media for a variety of made-up reasons. I was worried that it meant she was close to taking back the momentum in this race.
My worrying lasted up until Saturday’s tremendous virtual event we held with Stacey Abrams. (If you missed it, we’re planning to do a rebroadcast sometime soon on Facebook Live). Thanks again to Stacey for spending some time chatting with Lucy and all of us.
And if you missed it -- right before the event, Handel tried to claim we were spreading “conspiracy theories” about voter suppression. I like to think we were gathering over 2,000 folks who RSVP'd at a video chat summit to plan our way forward in 2020 as engaged voters.
If Handel is using that kind of polarized rhetoric in April, just imagine how nasty September, October, and November are going to get in this toss-up race. John, I’m asking because Lucy needs our help to hit every deadline here. They’re all vitally important in this toss-up race. Can you chip in $10 or $25 right now? Here’s the best link:

Thanks for all of your support, Lucy really appreciates it and so does our whole campaign team. While we can’t even be together in the same office right now, we hope to be back in one place soon when it’s safe to do so.
