This grassroots team has proven its mettle since day 1, as we’ve withstood partisan attacks and special interests trying to influence our race.

The next storm we need to weather though is a winter one, John.

Look, the holiday season’s fundraising slowdown is nothing new, and we baked it into our projections and benchmarks way back when.

However, that doesn’t mean we can afford to come up short in the run up to the slower season.

The reality is that polling shows we’ve got all the momentum in this race, but if we rest on our laurels and let our fundraising efforts slip, that energy can dissipate in an instant.

That’s why our November fundraising benchmark is even more important than usual, because just like a winter storm, this could turn in an instant.

So before things get too hectic over the next few weeks, will you please consider chipping in a few bucks toward my team’s $75,000 November fundraising goal? This is our last, best chance to make a strong fundraising push before the end of the year.

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

Thanks a bunch!
