We have an important fundraising deadline tomorrow and we’re $5,711 short of our goal. Can we count on you to help us out?

We know this isn’t a fun email to receive. And to be honest, we don’t love sending them either.

But here’s the deal: tomorrow is the next deadline to apply for matching public funds, and our fundraising numbers will go public after we submit our application — for the world (and our opponent) to see.

Right-wing super PACs here in New Jersey and down in Washington D.C. will be poring over our numbers, looking for any sign of financial weakness that they can capitalize on. We have to show strength if we’re going to win this race.

So if you’ve been waiting for a chance to make a real impact in this race, now is that chance. Chip in before tomorrow, and anything you give may be matched 2-to-1 with public funds, giving your donation TRIPLE its impact.

Thank you for your support!
