Believe it or not, we're already nearing the end of August, John. In other words, we only have 13 days left to hit our August fundraising goal.

At this stage in the race, hitting every monthly goal is mission-critical. So we crunched the numbers to see what it's going to take to get there: Based on our average contribution this month, we need 521 people reading this to make a donation today in order to hit our daily target.

Can you please donate $28 (our average contribution this month) or anything you can right now to help hit our daily fundraising target and power Katie's re-election campaign during this critical stage of her race?

To be honest, this race will really pick up steam between September and Election Day, so Katie needs to raise every resource possible this month to be ready.

If we miss just one daily fundraising target, we'll have to make adjustments to our budget in the critical months ahead. Can Katie count on your contribution today to keep that from happening?

Please make one of the 521 donations we're relying on today. Our August goal is within reach, but we need to hit every daily target we set in the next 13 days to get there.

Thanks for everything you do,

Team Porter
