Hi there --
When I said summer was a tough time to raise money, I meant it -- we didn't quite raise that $1,000 we were hoping for yesterday.
Every small donation helps in these local races where the winner isn't decided by money raised, but by how many voters they're able to talk to before polls close. The earlier we can recruit candidates, the more nights and weekends they have to walk every street in their community.
If you can, chip in a few bucks today to make sure we can recruit young, diverse progressives who might not already think of themselves as future candidates.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Amanda

Subject: 905 and counting
With our August endorsed candidates officially on team RFS, we've reached quite a milestone: more than 900 candidates in total, from 49 states and Washington, DC. And while we can't take all of the credit here, RFS candidates are still winning at nearly five times the national rate for first-time candidates.
You can see why we're so determined to keep growing. With half a million local elected offices in the country, there's so much room for us to get kick-ass diverse progressives into leadership positions -- with your help.
Help us raise $1,000 for candidate recruitment and support today by making a donation of $10 or more.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
The more candidates we can support, the more voters will have the chance to be represented by someone who shares our beliefs. What is there to lose?
Thanks,
Amanda
