Get this, team: A few longtime supporters have committed to matching all contributions this week to help me prepare for my End-of-Year FEC deadline.

Incredibly generous.

The holiday fundraising slump is already hitting my campaign hard, so in a moment, I’ll ask you to make a matched contribution to help tie a nice bow on the year 2025. But before I make a firm ask, I want you to have all the facts.

Here's a quick overview on the terms and conditions of our match program, and why it’s a worthwhile investment.

→ When I say your contribution will be doubled, I mean it. 1 + 1 = 2. Chip in $25, $25 gets pulled from our match fund. Boom, $50 for our campaign.

→ Our match sponsors pledge specific dollar amounts to our match fund. We'll continue matching your donations until the fund is empty.

→ We're starting with $14k, and we'll only receive the full amount if we raise $14k ourselves. We’ll continue matching your donations until the fund is empty OR the deadline hits. If we bring in less than $14k, we leave the rest of that money on the table.

→ My team and I stick to the terms laid out above. I will not bombard you with bogus claims of 8,000% matches and ALL-CAPS EXTENDED DEADLINES, because your trust is worth more than any amount of money in the world.

Will you take advantage of this offer by investing $25 (becomes $50) today? Your impact will be automatically doubled, plus you’ll bolster our upcoming End-of-Year finance report before it goes public. ,>

Thanks so much,
