John,

The countdown is on—this is it. My only public fundraising deadline of the year ends at midnight tonight.

Heading into 2025-2026 when Secretaries of State like me will be on the ballot, potential opponents and pundits will be watching the strength of our movement. We can’t fall short.

John, I need your help. We still need to raise another $5k to hit our $25,000 goal, and I’m asking for your help in these final hours.

Here’s why your support today is so critical:

– In just a few days, we’ll be in a new legislative session. We will need to counter misinformation and ensure all the progress we’ve made is protected.
– Extremists are spreading lies and eroding trust in our electoral system. We need the resources to correct the record and lead with the truth.
– Your contribution will help us defend democracy, empower voters, and ensure every eligible Minnesotan can cast their ballot.

Every dollar we raise before midnight will be made public, and it will show the strength of our commitment to defending democracy. Can I count on you to chip in $5 or more before the deadline?

We can’t afford to fall short, especially with the stakes so high. Let’s finish the year strong, John.

Thank you for everything,

Steve
