In the pantheon of busy weekends, this one’s a doozy — that’s why I need you riding shotgun today.

Before I get you up to speed, I’ve got some HUGE news to share:

Thanks to a super (duper) generous group of donors, all digital donations between now and the end of the month will be MATCHED! Can I count on you to DOUBLE your impact in this must-win race?

Let me run down the facts:

Zach Lahn is spending $900k a week on ads attacking me.

Key race raters like Sabato’s Crystal Ball are calling this race a toss-up.

National Journal says this race is the top gubernatorial pickup opportunity for Democrats.

We’re on pace to come up short of our $175k August fundraising goal.

With so many moving parts, these donors are really saving our bacon with this limited match opportunity, because we need a big surge in grassroots support if we’re going to clear this hurdle.

Will you please chip in $25 toward our August fundraising goal to keep us in the driver’s seat of this neck-and-neck race? It’s all gas, no brakes, all weekend! Remember, your gift will be matched — and your impact DOUBLED — but only if you donate before Monday at 11:59pm!

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

Let’s do this!
