John,

I don't want to clutter your inbox, so I'll keep this short.

My FEC end-of-quarter deadline hits at midnight TONIGHT, and my team has informed me that we still need to bring in 74 donations to meet our goal.

Outside groups will be looking at our numbers closely now that former Republican Congressman Scott Taylor is officially challenging me this November, so we need all hands on deck -- will you rush in a donation to help us send a message that we have what it takes to defend this seat?

Thank you,

Elaine
