John,

This is Mike’s team.

He told you on October 1st that you’d always know where this campaign stands, including when it’s bad.

No spin and no excuses. With 27 days left and a six-figure blitz running against him, a day like that costs us. Every dollar we don’t raise is a voter their ads reach before we do.

The good news is it’s the most fixable problem a campaign has. One strong day erases one bad day. That’s the entire repair.

You should know something about the man we work for: he is genuinely bad at this part of the job. He’ll talk about his grandfather all afternoon, he’ll tell you about the deployment if you ask him directly, and he gets visibly uncomfortable asking anybody for money.

So we’re doing it for him.

$1 from everyone reading this erases the miss completely — and every single donor is one more name on a report the DCCC reads.

Make today the day ⬇

Thank you for standing with Mike.
