Friends -

I wanted to give you a quick update on our race before asking you to make a donation. Here’s where things stand:

The good news is that the latest polling shows this race is statistically tied. We’re in a dead heat with the momentum on our side. That’s a huge testament to the hard work this grassroots team has been doing day in and day out.

But there’s also some bad news: Joe Kennedy and his allies are spending massively against us. After Joe Kennedy increased his TV ad buy to over $3.5 million, his super PAC unleashed another $2.5 million in TV ads. They’re spending $6 million against us to try to blunt our momentum.

This could be a big problem. People are starting to return their mail-in ballots right now, and we cannot afford to be drowned out like this. We’ve proven that we do not have to outspend them, and that’s okay. But we do have to keep things close.

And as you may know, the only way we can compete with Joe Kennedy’s max-out machine and big money backers is with lots and lots of donations from people like you. So that’s why I’m asking:

Please make a $3 donation right now to help us fight back. Our final FEC deadline before the primary is next week, and your $3 will send a powerful message that their big money is no match for our movement.

Look, our opponents are terrified and desperate. That’s why they’ve been launching negative smears and massive money. Their only hope is to try to buy this seat for Joe Kennedy, but together, we will prevail when the votes are counted.

Now, let’s stay focused and go win this race!
