Hey John --

I was reading the below email from our finance team, and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

It’s hard to describe the feeling that I get when I think of just how far our movement has come over the past ten months on the campaign trail. It’s not just awe and it’s not just gratitude -- it’s something ongoing and urgent: This campaign exemplifies, to me, the process of progress.

That’s why I wanted to make sure you saw our finance team’s note. John, our success today is due entirely to support from folks like you who believe in the greater good, folks who believe that there are certain issues -- access to affordable health care, access to broadband, and environmental protections -- worth taking a stand for.

Today, John, taking a stand means ensuring that our campaign is able to sustain our momentum. So if you can, I hope you’ll make a donation of any size today, using this link right here: http://secure.actblue.com/donate/long_q22020?&refcode=em_fr_2020.04.29_b2_ai_all&amount=30

I can’t overstate how grateful I am to have you on #TeamLong with us, John.

Onwards!

John,

When Carolyn launched her change campaign back in July 2019, our team charted our fundraising plan for the cycle as a series of phases.

Each of these phases are broken into smaller milestones -- weeks, months, quarters -- that are sustained by supporters like you, whose donations are already in motion as we expand our digital offerings, hire more staff, and prove to Southwest Washingtonians that Carolyn is the leader we need during this time.

Now, just 35 hours out from our next fundraising goal, we’re still $2,940 short of our goal. John, if it’s within your means at this time, we hope you’ll consider making a contribution to our change campaign.

John, we think of each fundraising goal as a checkpoint for our team to ensure that we’ll have the requisite resources to build a strong operation -- one that will effectively reach more voters at home to explain what’s at stake in November.

And here’s what’s at stake, John: expanded access to affordable health care, lowered prescription drug costs, access to broadband regardless of one's zip code, and strong local economies to sustain small business growth right here in our backyard.

We have a real opportunity to flip this seat in November and bring accountable leadership to Southwest Washington and positive change to thousands of working families across America. I hope you (and your friends and family) will join dozens of others from Washington in pitching in for progress.

With your support, John, we know we can elect representation that works for Southwest Washington families. Thank you for all that you do,
