This is Jennifer, Andrea’s finance director.

I’ve spent the last two hours poring over our budget. I have the little gray lines of thousands of different spreadsheets burned permanently into my eyelids 👁👁. During the 40 or so minutes of sleep I get tonight, I will dream of nothing but Excel.

The conclusion I’ve reached from all this is inescapable: our fundraising numbers are not where they need to be. And with our last monthly fundraising deadline of the entire election only two days away, it’s never been more important to hit our benchmarks.

Will you pitch in today and help us catch up so that Andrea has the resources to win this tossup race?

The truth is, we’re heading toward Election Day with no idea whether we’ll win or lose. Polling has us deadlocked with our opponent, who just wrote his campaign a $200,000 check to fuel more attacks on Andrea. With just one week until the election, we still have thousands of undecided voters to reach, and we have to get all of our supporters out to vote.

We have a lot to get done before Election Day, and we’re falling short on resources. Please, chip in whatever you can to help us get across the finish line.

Thanks for your support,

Jennifer Garcia
Finance Director
Andrea Salinas for Oregon

p.s. If you think our campaign texts and emails you too often, you’re not wrong, but it’s nothing compared to how often I’m texting and emailing the rest of our campaign staff
