John --
Tomorrow marks the first FEC deadline since Kamala Harris joined this race as Joe Biden's running mate, which is why in just a moment, I'm going to ask you to become one of 62 more people from Washington we need to make a $7 contribution before our deadline. Before I do that, please give me a moment to speak candidly with you about our goals, and why your first investment in our party would make such an important difference right now.
Tomorrow's deadline is one of the final times our party will report to the FEC before voters cast their ballots, meaning the resources Democrats are able to raise right now will be among the last that we'll be able to spend getting out the vote in these final, crucial months. With early voting starting soon in some states, I mean it when I say there's never been a more urgent time to help Democrats in tight races make it over the finish line and to make the case for our Biden-Harris ticket.
According to your donor file, you haven't yet made a contribution to the DNC this year. If you can, this is an important moment to make your first gift of the year, while there's still time left to make a direct impact on the outcome of this race. That's why I'm asking you -- on behalf of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democratic candidates down the ballot -- to own a piece of this campaign while there's still enough time to make a difference.
Will you be one of the 62 more donors we need from Washington to contribute $7 before tomorrow's FEC deadline? We can hit our goal if everyone on this team pitches in even a modest amount, so I hope you'll chip in $7, or whatever makes sense for your budget right now.
Trump and the GOP showed their cards at the Republican convention, and it's time for America to make our choice. Will we move towards a brighter future of healing, justice, fairness, and opportunity for all? Or will we fall short of that and hand another four years to Donald Trump and his corrupt allies? Before tomorrow's deadline, I hope you'll join me, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats across this nation to be a part of the unified Democratic movement it will take to turn the page on this dark chapter in our American story.
We absolutely must hit our end-of-month goal to ensure we'll have the resources to make that happen, John, and to do that, our party needs at least 62 more people from Washington to step up and own a piece of this race. The results of this election could last for generations to come, so there's never been a more consequential time to pour everything we have into winning up and down the ballot this November.
Please donate $7 -- or whatever you can afford to give -- before tomorrow's FEC deadline. This is one of the final deadlines we'll face in this election, so every contribution will play an irreplaceable role in helping get out the vote in these final months.
In unity,
Tom

P.S. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats in every corner of our country are counting on you and me to give everything we've got during this final sprint. With early voting starting as early as this week in some states, we don't have time to waste. Please be one of the 62 more supporters from Washington we need to donate $7 before tomorrow's deadline to help take back the White House, flip the Senate, and win crucial seats in all 50 states.
