Have you had a chance to read my email from earlier today?
If not, no worries, because I know it was a bit on the long side. But if
I’ve now piqued your curiosity, feel free to read it below — otherwise,
here’s the gist of it:
Election Day is only 9 weeks from tomorrow, and with this race being
neck-and-neck, hitting our $175k digital fundraising goal is crucial to
our plans to continue building out our grassroots team in the home
stretch.
We’re not on track to hit that goal, but the upside is that we’ve also got
an active match opportunity that expires at midnight! So all hope is not
lost.
[ [link removed] ]Can I count on you to pitch in a last-minute grassroots donation to
help put us over the top? Whatever you donate will be MATCHED, doubling
your impact in an already super close race!
If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your
donation will go through immediately.

Subject: our biggest hurdle to date (seriously)

Tomorrow is more than just September 1st — it also marks just 9 weeks
until Election Day! 😮
We’ve got tons to accomplish between now and then, but first things first:
Our August fundraising deadline is at midnight, and hitting our $175k
digital goal is absolutely our biggest hurdle to date (more on that in
just a sec).
That also means that our match opportunity — you know, the one where any
donation amount you chip in is matched by a group of generous donors —
also expires at midnight. A bit more than your average Monday, to say the
least.
I’ll explain why hitting this goal is oh-so-very important. But if you’re
already in the know, and you’re ready and raring to double your impact
with a matched donation, [ [link removed] ]please consider chipping in a few bucks right
now.

So here’s the 411: 9 weeks is
simultaneously a long time, and no time at all.
It’s a long time because we can’t take anything for granted.
For example, I’ve got a razor-thin advantage in the polls right now, but
that edge could dissipate in the blink of an eye. Zach Lahn is spending
$900k every week on ads to attack me and mislead Iowans, and that kind of
cheddar buys a lot of airtime.
A lot can — and will — happen between now and Election Day.
But it’s also an incredibly short runway to accomplish the long list of
things we need to do to build a lead and continue growing this grassroots
team.
We need to reach Iowans at their doors, on their phones, on their screens,
and anywhere else we can in order to get folks the facts about me, my
record, and my plan to move Iowa forward.
No matter what, this race is going to be a nail-biter. But as you can
imagine, the road to victory becomes even more challenging when we fall
short of critical fundraising benchmarks.
And now we’ve come full circle.
We’ve got a golden opportunity to make up the fundraising gap thanks to a
perfectly timed match opportunity courtesy of a few generous donors.
[ [link removed] ]So please, if you’re ready to help elect me as governor, will you chip
in $25 right away? Remember, your donation will be matched — but only if
you donate before midnight!

donation will go through immediately.
