Hey John,

It’s Martin - Josh’s Deputy Campaign Manager. I’m writing to you personally because we’re in a really bad situation and I want to explain why your support is so critical.

Last week, the largest GOP group went up with TV ads for our opponent. It was the worst-case scenario for our campaign. Millions of dollars are now flooding into our district with ads against Josh.

This was a big deal for us because it forced us to launch our response TV ad earlier than we budgeted. And now we’re scrambling because we don’t have enough money to keep them on the air through the election.

Josh doesn’t take corporate PAC money, so the only way we’re going to be able to keep our ads live is with your help. We have to raise another $76,000 by the end of the month. Can you please chip in today?

We’re in a tight spot. GOP special interests are dominating the airwaves and now our budget is in the red. We can’t allow them to outspend us or else we risk losing this competitive district!

So anything you can give to help us close the gap on our goal and fix this budget shortfall would make a huge difference.

I can’t thank you enough for your support,

Martin, Team Harder
