We’re quickly approaching the final major FEC deadline before Election Day, and right now we are behind where we need to be.

Here is what that means: That report becomes public next month. Reporters will read it, and Ryan Elijah's MAGA backers will read it, too.

If we file a low number, they will see it as exactly the signal they have been waiting for. A sign that we are running out of gas in the final weeks of this campaign. So they’ll pour even more money in to push Ryan Elijah over the line and lock this race down.

We cannot hand them that opening.

FL-07 is the number one Democratic flip opportunity in Florida. This is our best shot at turning a seat blue in this entire state, and we have to keep that chance alive.

The team has a plan. We need to raise $40,000 in the next 48 hours.

Every time someone counted this campaign out, you proved them wrong, with $10 and $25 and $50 from people who decided this fight was worth having.

What we raise in the next 48 hours tells Elijah's backers whether we are a threat or a target. Let's make sure they see a fight. Will you chip in $10 right now and help us hit our $40,000 goal?

In this fight together,
Bale Dalton
