This is not the kind of email I want to be sending one week from Election Day.

I just met with my finance team, and with just two days left until our final end-of-month deadline, we’re still $7,432 short of our goal.

In this last crucial week of the election, we cannot afford to be behind on our fundraising. Deep-pocketed extremists are lining up behind my opponent — because they know he’s their ticket to passing their anti-abortion agenda. If we want to win, we need to match their efforts — and then some.

I’m reaching out to you because we need your support. Could you help us overcome this fundraising gap by pitching in $25 today, or any amount that works for you?

Look, I know how strong our grassroots coalition can be. Your support is what helped us flip a Republican seat and take back a Democratic majority in 2018, and it’s what helped us hold on to this seat in 2020 and 2022.

And if we can defend KS-03 again, there’s a very real chance we can flip the House again.

With all that’s at stake in this election — protecting LGBTQ+ rights, stopping a national abortion ban, and lowering costs for hardworking families — we can’t afford to be behind this close to Election Day. So please chip in what you can to help us hold on to this critical seat.

With gratitude,

Sharice
