Everyone and their mother is talking about the Iowa governor’s race, but between, you know — *gestures broadly* — everything else going on, you might have missed these key updates:

FIRST: National Journal named our race as the #1 gubernatorial pickup opportunity for Democrats in November!

THEN: Kansas Zach upped his ad spending to a truly jaw-dropping $900k per week in an attempt to mislead Iowa voters.

NOW: With less than a week before the end of the month, we’ve hit a snag in our big fundraising push. Needless to say, it’s time to meet the moment!

August has been tough sledding for digital fundraising, but unless we want the next major headline to be about Kansas Zach pulling ahead, we need to get back on track, and quickly.

We’ve got 4 days to hit our August fundraising goal so that we have the resources to compete with Zach’s absurd spending and show everyone that this grassroots team has what it takes to WIN. Can I count on you to chip in $25 ASAP?

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

Thanks for always having my back!
