This is a toss-up race, John. Here’s what that means on our end:

• In a race that polls show statistically tied, our ability to win in November depends on how much money we raise.
   
• Cash flow determines our ability to plan ahead. We can’t spend money we don’t have (or don’t think we’ll have).
   
• If we don’t have a grasp on cash flow, we might not invest properly in the actions we need to take to win: reaching undecided voters in the district and ensuring that Gil’s supporters vote as soon as they receive their ballots.

Around this time in the election cycle, I see an uptick in the following question: What more can I be doing to help ensure that Gil wins and that Democrats retain their House Majority?

Here’s the answer, John: Become a weekly donor to our campaign in the final seven weeks of this election. Anything -- $3.90, $5, or $15 -- will make a tangible difference in our operation by allowing us to plan ahead.
