John, bumping Jermaine’s message. The number we post at midnight on the 31st will determine whether this campaign catches fire or starts to fade. Strong numbers mean momentum, media attention, and the ability to ramp up - weak numbers are not an option.
This is not routine accounting - this is the first public test of whether this campaign is real.
When we post our quarterly fundraising total, that number becomes public. Opponents, reporters, and potential supporters will be able to see where we stand. This first report tells people whether our campaign has what it takes to win, or whether we’re already running on borrowed time.
I didn’t launch this campaign to be dismissed by insiders who have never set foot in our communities. We’re building something different here, and we need to make sure that’s reflected on our first end of quarter report.
I’m Jermaine Johnson, and I’m running to be the next Governor of South Carolina.
I wasn’t born into power — I fought my way into it. I'm not a career politician or a wealthy insider.
I'm a husband, father, and fighter who knows what it’s like to grow up with nothing and still keep pushing forward.
