Hi John, it’s Valerie.

I’ll try to keep this quick, but it’s that time again: We’re approaching another FEC deadline — our most critical one yet.

All campaigns submit fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission — but the numbers go public at the end of each quarter – and the next filing deadline is on September 30th, when our reports will become public.

That means any doubters will have a chance to see exactly where our campaign stands, using it as a benchmark of our movement’s strength.

To keep us on track to hit our ultimate $15,000 quarterly goal, my team has set a mid-month fundraising goal of $5,000 by this Sunday at midnight. John, I hate to ask, but meeting this goal is critical — will you please pitch in $5 or any amount right now to help prove our strength and defend my seat?

I know how strong the grassroots strength is behind my re-election campaign. You have proven time and time again that you have my back, John. That’s why I know I can count on you during this crucial fundraising period.

We need our numbers to reflect this strength and remind voters we are not slowing down, especially now. Keeping our momentum high means keeping progress at the forefront in NC-04.

Teamwork is the backbone of my mission, John. Will you please donate $5 to help us stay on track to surpassing our goal?

Thank you,

Valerie
