John, I know you've been hearing from our party a lot lately, but I needed to reach out to you one final time today to let you know: With just five hours until our deadline, I fear we could come up a bit short of our April goal.

While every FEC deadline is important, the one we are facing in just a few hours is different -- it's the first since Joe Biden has become our party's presumptive nominee. That means we urgently need to scale up crucial 2020 programs in time for VP Biden and Democrats nationwide to lean on them for the general election. Falling short of fundraising goals, like the one we've set for midnight, could be detrimental to those plans, so I have to ask you:

If your financial situation allows, can you rush a $7 contribution to the DNC before tonight's midnight FEC deadline to make sure we don't fall short of this important goal? I know times are tough for many right now due to this crisis, but if just 11 more supporters from Washington chip in we can close the gap on our fundraising goal ahead of tonight's critical end-of-month deadline.

As the chief financial officer of the DNC, I can tell you this: What this grassroots team is able to raise together before midnight tonight will have a tangible impact on the outcomes of competitive races across the country come November 3.

The bulk of our most important work has to happen while it's still early in the race, meaning a contribution now before tonight's FEC deadline will play an even larger role than that same gift made right before Election Day. We're within reach of our goal, but we can't afford to fall behind. Especially not right now. Can you help out before midnight, John?

If you can, please be one of the 11 more donors we need from Washington to make an investment in our party before tonight's deadline. Even if you can only spare a modest gift today, any amount makes a difference.

I understand times are tough for many of us right now, so even if you can't afford to make a donation, please know that your support is deeply appreciated.

Joe
