Apologies for reaching out so early on a Monday, but as the famous saying goes, fundraising benchmarks happen, coffee helps. Or something like that.

We’re at a critical juncture in the Iowa governor’s race, and we need to continue ramping up our grassroots outreach operation, building out our team, and talking to more and more Iowans.

Easier said than done.

Zach Lahn is dropping $700k a week on ads attacking me — meanwhile, we’re struggling to hit important weekly fundraising targets.

The closer we get to Election Day, the more important these fundraising benchmarks become. That’s just the way it is. 🤷‍

Polling shows this race is neck-and-neck, and mark my words, whoever wins the messaging battle will have an inside track to victory. That’s why I need YOU, to please chip in $25 (or whatever you can) today so we can make sure that’s us.

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

Thanks!
