I hate asking for money. 0/10, don’t love it.

But in a race as close as this one, there’s no way around it. Grassroots supporters like you are the only reason we’re able to compete with the partisan backers propping up Zach Lahn’s campaign.

We depend on that grassroots support to make crucial budgeting decisions: When and where we run ads, how many events we can host, when we can recruit and train staff, all sorts of stuff.

Those decisions are a lot easier to make when we’ve got resources. But right now, we’re falling short of our weekly digital fundraising goal, and it’s already Thursday. Not great.

Weekly fundraising benchmarks keep us on track, and with only 75 days to go until Election Day, hitting them will make or break our chances in this neck-and-neck race. Will you please chip in $25 to help get us back on track ASAP?

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

I really appreciate everything you do for this campaign.
