Hello — I did not want to send this email, but my team just told me a few moments ago that we missed our August fundraising goal. Falling short has serious consequences for our campaign, and I hope you can spare a few minutes to let me explain why this is so important.

You see, our campaign is funded by grassroots donations from folks like you — not corporate PACs or right-wing megadonors from Mitch McConnell’s rolodex who can write unlimited checks.

That’s been especially true since this pandemic began. None of us could have ever imagined a situation as difficult as the one we’re in right now — and our campaign was able to adapt thanks to your support.

Every dollar we raise helps us fight back against Republican attacks and expand our grassroots organizing program. That’s important because the last two polls of this election have the race in single digits.

So, I’m extending yesterday’s August fundraising goal through Labor Day hoping we can catch up before the final sprint begins. I’m asking one more time if I can count on you to step up today:

Your donation could be the difference in an election this close. If you can afford it, chip in $10 or more to our campaign today and ensure we have the resources it’ll take to win this race:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Rush $10 now Rush $25 now

Rush $50 now Rush $100 now

Rush $250 now Another Amount

We’ve closed bigger gaps in our budget before, but never at a more important moment for our campaign than this one. We have a real chance to flip this seat blue and end Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority.

Let’s keep at it and get the job done.

Thanks for all you do.

— John
