John,

We have less than seven hours left before we have to file our fundraising numbers with the FEC. This will be our last public FEC filing before the primary on June 23.

Our campaign had a record-high fundraising day yesterday, all thanks to grassroots donors like you. While we're in a better position than we've ever been, one thing still remains: the last FEC filing showed that Eliot Engel has nearly five times more cash on hand than we do.

At this point in the race, we can't risk being outspent by Eliot Engel five times over. That's why we're doing our best to close the gap before this FEC filing deadline at midnight. Will you chip in $5?

Everyone — from the political media to voters — will be able to see just how much money our campaign raises up until that deadline. Some voters will even look at these numbers and make their decision on who they vote for.

Our grassroots movement needs to be strong enough to win. With all eyes on this primary, now is the time for us to build and show our strength, and to demonstrate to everyone that Jamaal is poised to win this primary and end Eliot Engel's 31 years in Congress.

So before midnight: can you chip in $5 and help us make our final filing the best one yet?

In solidarity,

Jesse Guy-Herman, Finance Director
Bowman for Congress
