John,

I appreciate your opening this on your Saturday. Right now, I’m taking part in our state convention, but I wanted to reach out one last time after getting this big update from my team.

Tonight is our last monthly fundraising deadline before the big one, when our numbers go public; and my team let me know that we’re still $3,125 away from our May goal.

The support we’ve received so far has blown me away, and I want to make sure the depth and power of our campaign is clear to all. With just a few hours left, can you use the personalized link below to chip in $3? https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bty_q2_25

While a lot of people in this race can talk the talk, I know my actual experience fighting Donald Trump in his first term is the difference we need from our state’s next leader.

But I also understand – and Trump’s electoral wins have laid bare – that winning the messaging war is just as important as the actions. And in a state like ours, that gets expensive fast.

That makes this deadline even more crucial. Once these numbers are public, not only will everyone be looking at our numbers to see if this campaign is viable, but it will directly impact how much work we can do to continue reaching voters early and often.

This is going to be a big race, John. Let's send a message that our movement is strong enough to win. That we are ready for competent, accountable leadership that is rooted in the needs of everyday people — a leader who will use every lever in the toolbox to protect our values.

If you spare even a few dollars, I would be so grateful for your extra help. Here’s the link again to chip in: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bty_q2_25

Take care of yourself, and have a wonderful, restful remainder of your weekend, John. We will need you in the months ahead.

Thank you,

Betty
