We knew that Labor Day Weekend is typically a tough time to fundraise, but I don’t think any of us were expecting such a steep dropoff:

Folks, at the end of September, we need to file our fundraising numbers with the Federal Election Commission.

Once we do that, everybody — and I do mean EVERYBODY — will be able to take a look at our numbers and decide for themselves if they think we’ve got the resources that it’ll take to defend Maryland.

Look, I know what this grassroots team is made of, because our supporters have been the beating heart of this campaign since day 1.

When our opponents, our supporters, and the political pundits get a look at our numbers, I want them to see what I see: A strong, dedicated, vibrant grassroots movement.

So we need to make up for this weekend’s fundraising dip ASAP or we’ll be forced to make major cuts to our grassroots operations. That means we won’t be able to hit the streets, talk to voters, and do what it takes to win in November.

Can I count on you to pitch in $25 (or whatever you can) before you close out of this email? Maryland will decide Senate control in November, and every dollar we don’t raise is another tiny victory for Republican Larry Hogan and his GOP super PACs.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Together,
