John, Tim Walz here. I’m not one to beat around the bush, so I’ll get straight to it:

Our campaign is running very short of where our fundraising should be at this point in the month. With voters already casting their ballots -- and recent polls showing this race is neck and neck -- I’m truly counting on you to make today, September 24, the day you add your first donation to our campaign.

So, I’m trying something new. I’m lowering my ask to just $1 in the hopes that everyone donates today to help us catch up. What do you say, John? Please use this link to chip in $1 to elect Kamala and defeat Trump:

Our campaign has received tens of thousands of first-time donations since Kamala and I became your Democratic nominees for President and Vice President. Unlike our opponent, we are running a people-powered campaign that relies on grassroots support. We’re proud of that -- and I hope you are, too.

But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from my time as a coach, it’s that we can’t rest on our laurels. We’ve got just 42 days left in this election. Recent polls show this race is neck and neck. And Donald Trump is spending millions of dollars to halt our momentum.

We simply can’t afford to fall short of our end-of-quarter goal. Not with Trump out to beat us. And not with the future of our very democracy on the line.

So I’m counting on you, John, to represent Pennsylvania on today’s fundraising report. Once again, we're lowering our ask to just $1. You’re more than welcome to donate more. What matters most is that you make today the day you make the decision to chip in for the first time.

Tim Walz
Governor, Minnesota
