Hi John -- I'll keep this quick.

We’re just over one day away from the deadline for our crucial end-of-quarter fundraising goal, so I wanted to reach out with a personal note before time runs out.

Over the course of this campaign, my team and I have let you know about several goals and deadlines. And while they were all important, this is the most important test our team has faced yet.

Election Day is just over one month away now. When our numbers go public shortly after the Wednesday deadline, dark money and special interest groups will be studying them closely to determine how and where they should be spending their money over these last few weeks to defeat me.

And remember: Between now and Election Day, one outside group is already spending over $2.5 million against our campaign.

Right now, the best way to fight back is to help my team put up a strong showing over these last few hours before the quarterly deadline.

So John, before time runs out tomorrow night, can I count on you to chip in? I can’t do this without you, and I would be so grateful for your support at this critical moment in the campaign.

With gratitude,

Jared
