I didn’t want to message you again so soon, Brandt, but I wanted to share this news with you right away.

Devan (my campaign manager) just updated me on our campaign and she mentioned that 52,646 people have already donated ahead of our FEC fundraising deadline next week.

That’s more than 50% of the way to the goal — and Brandt, that means so much to me personally.

The truth is, I hate that politics has become so much about money. Which is why we’ve set a goal about the number of donations we collect ahead of the deadline rather than the total amount raised.

Unlike our opponent, we’re not taking any money from corporate PACs — which means when we win this close election, I won’t be beholden to the special interests who have dominated the agenda in Washington, making it virtually impossible to get anything done.

That said, we have less than a week to bring in the other half of our fundraising goal before the FEC deadline. I need to know if you’re standing with me in this fight. If you can, chip in $10 or more now:

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

I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important.

Thanks again.
