Hi John, it’s Frank. I’ll cut right to the chase: 

Our mid-month fundraising deadline is coming up, and my team and I are working around the clock to raise $5,000 before Thursday at midnight. Can you help us out by chipping in today?

This one’s an important deadline because we’re officially half way through the quarter which means our numbers go public at the end of next month. And John, Republicans will be scouring our report to look for signs of weakness in our campaign, so we simply can’t slow down now.

Whatever we’re able to raise now impacts our voter outreach efforts, TV buys, and everything else it’s going to take for us to win next year. And as one of the most competitive races in the country, we can’t afford to leave anything to chance. 

Republicans are clinging to one of the slimmest House majorities in history, and they see this seat as one of their best pickup opportunities. 

They spent millions of dollars trying to take me down last year, and believe it or not, John, they’ve already launched attack ads against me this time around. 

We’ve been down this road before and we know that hitting each and every fundraising goal between now and Election Day is how we fend off the attacks and win one of the most competitive races in the country. 

Grassroots supporters like you stepped up big during last year’s election, and I need your help again if we’re going to keep this seat blue. Will you chip in $10 today to help us reach our $5,000 fundraising goal before this Thursday at midnight?

Thank you for your support,

Frank Mrvan
