Hi John,

We haven’t met yet, but my name is Jackson McMillan. I am the finance director for Josh Weil, the Democratic nominee in the Special Election for Florida’s 6th Congressional District.

Republicans started this session of Congress with the smallest House Majority they’ve had since 1932. That majority shrank even further following Trump appointing multiple members of Congress to his cabinet - leaving their seats up for grabs in Special Elections. That was Trump’s biggest mistake.

The balance of House control now stands at just 217 (R) vs. 215 (D).

Myself (2nd from the left) with Josh and some of my teammates at the Volusia County Democrats Black and Blue Gala last weekend. Volusia County is among our most key counties to flip and we are proud to be working alongside their county Democratic party.

My team and I have not taken this unique opportunity for granted.

In the past two and a half months, myself and my team members have performed some of the best work of our careers. In two months we’ve built a program that has outraised what most Congressional campaigns accomplish in a two year election cycle.

The stats speak for themselves: $5,518,904 raised from 151,097 individual donors from every state in the union.

While impressive, these fundraising stats are not enough to win. The smallest budget we could secure a win with is $10,000,000 and we are rapidly falling off track of hitting even that and time is running out (today we have just 33 days left until election day).

To reach that smallest winning budget we need to have raised an additional million by yesterday. We didn’t hit this and now face a $481,096 deficit to get back on track.

Don’t let these daunting numbers deter you. $200k is an average day for us. $240k, the target we need to hit today and again tomorrow, is above average but we’ve had a handful of 240k+ days and I know we can hit it again today.

To help get us back on track, all I need you to do is just chip in and make a contribution. I don’t care how much. Most people reading these do not give so I just need you to make any contribution. Can I count on you to chip in?
