Hi John, it’s Ben, Gabe Vasquez’s Finance Director. I know Gabe reached out yesterday about our upcoming mid-month fundraising deadline, but I wanted to explain to you exactly why it’s so critical for our campaign right now.

If you’re already on board and ready to chip in, you can click here to support Gabe. If not, read on for more details about what we’re up against.

In 2022, Gabe flipped NM-02 blue by just 1,350 votes.

This November, his toss-up match against MAGA extremist Yvette Herrell will be even tougher — especially with Donald Trump and national MAGA Republicans interfering with every possible dirty trick.

That’s why Gabe launched a TV ad this week — to spread his pro-choice, pro-New Mexico message far and wide in the face of rampant attacks by Herrell and the NRCC.

And that’s why we set out to raise $20,000 before the week is over. $20K is how much it’s going to take to keep our TV ad up and reach voters all across NM-02.

But what’s coming up is even bigger, John:

The end of September marks our final end-of-quarter fundraising deadline of the election cycle. This is our final public EOQ filing deadline before the election, and ALL EYES will be on our finances. Gabe’s opponent Yvette Herrell, reporters, GOP megadonors and the NRCC will all be looking at our performance and they’ll be looking for ANY sign of weakness.

With the election less than two months away, we can’t afford to make ANY mistakes. Right now, there truly is no room for error, and that’s why it’s so critical that we do every single thing we can to support Gabe. It’s going to take all of his grassroots supporters to get across the finish line and DEFEAT Yvette Herrell once again.

Our deadline is this Sunday at midnight and there’s no time to waste. Can I count on you to chip in $25 or more and help us hit our $20K fundraising goal?

— Ben
