Friends —

We’re reaching out with an important request. We need to ask if you can make a donation to our campaign before Wednesday’s FEC deadline.

We’re working hard to make sure we re-elect Ed Markey and take back the White House and Senate in November. That means we still have important fundraising goals that we need to hit to keep this work going.

Can you make a $3 donation to our campaign before our final quarterly FEC deadline to become a Founding Donor of our general election?

This deadline is important because it’s one of the last times we’ll publicly report our fundraising numbers before the general election.

That means we have two goals here:

First, we need to make sure Republicans don’t get any ideas that we’re vulnerable. It wasn’t long ago that Republicans won a Senate seat in Massachusetts, and if we have a weak fundraising report, then there’s a chance that they could dump in money at the last minute to try to defeat us.

Second, this is our chance to send a powerful message about our grassroots strength. Every donation makes clear that our movement is built to last beyond Election Day and that we are demanding action on our bold, progressive agenda.

As you can see, this is an important deadline for our campaign, so we’re asking you to step up to help us reach our goal:

Please make a $3 donation before the FEC deadline to become a general election Founding Donor. We would not ask if this were not critical to our success.

Thank you in advance for making a donation. Your support means a lot to Ed.

- Team Markey
