I’m writing to you now to ask you to make a contribution to my campaign for U.S. Senate. Give me a brief moment to explain why I need your support today.

Tomorrow at midnight is one of the most important filing deadlines for our campaign so far. Shortly after, we will report our fundraising details to the Federal Election Commission and make all of our numbers public. This will be an important test for us as we head into the final months of this election.

You must be wondering what is so important about a report... Well, this one will show the amount of money we have raised this quarter, how much cash we have left in the bank, and most importantly, the number of people who have pitched in to help us — three critical benchmarks we cannot afford to miss right now.

But after looking over our fundraising numbers, I can see that we will miss our FEC goal this quarter — and if we do, everyone from Donald Trump to Mitch McConnell will be able to pinpoint our vulnerabilities and pounce.

That’s why my team and I made a decision to set an ambitious goal of reaching 25,000 grassroots donors to our campaign before the deadline tomorrow. Right now, we’re about 86% of the way there. Can you help us make up the difference?

Rush a donation of any amount today to help us get to 25,000 donors before the FEC deadline tomorrow at midnight. We can’t afford to look weak in our public report — not with the Republicans and their special-interest allies chomping at the bit to pore over our numbers.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thanks for your support at this important moment.
