I wanted to send along an update as the day gets going (and before my kids wrestle my phone away from me).

Our FEC reporting deadline is at midnight TONIGHT and we’re still running about $6,850 short of our goal.

This is the first FEC deadline since finding out our opponent outraised us so the stakes couldn’t be higher.

We’re one of the most competitive races in the entire country and outside groups have been dumping millions of dollars into our district, trying to turn it red, for months.

You see, we can’t miss any of our fundraising goals right now. Will you chip in before the FEC deadline at midnight?
