Hi John — I’m sure you’re receiving quite a few emails right now, so I’ll make this one short.

Our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline expires at midnight meaning our report to the Federal Election Committee is due very soon. Then it will become public for political pundits, Republican opponents and anyone to see.

With far-right opponents spending to attack our campaign, we can’t afford to come up short right now and send the message that this seat is ripe for their taking.

John, I’m personally asking you to pitch in before our end-of-quarter deadline expires at midnight. Will you add one of the 52 contributions we need to reach our goal? It’s incredibly important that we hit our target, so anything you can spare right now would mean the world to me.

Whether it’s chipping in when you can or simply just opening and reading this email, please know that your support is needed and greatly appreciated.

Thanks for everything, John.

Gratefully,

Lauren
