John, we’re at risk of falling short of our final fundraising goal of this election, so I'm emailing you to ask you to please be one of 420 more people from Washington we need to donate $7 to the DNC in order to hit our final fundraising goal of this race so that we don’t come up short. Before I do that, I need to show you something -- in the spirit of radical transparency.
The Biden campaign and the DNC, propelled by this grassroots team, have worked in lockstep to defy the odds and put Democrats -- at every level of office -- within reach of winning seats everywhere. But with just six days left, we've entered the final portion of the race when ads and get-out-the-vote investments make the absolute strongest impact on voter behavior -- yet we've seen a slowdown in our fundraising at a time where we must be seeing the exact opposite. You can see it for yourself:
The reason I'm telling you this now is because our party can still turn this trend around before it's too late -- but we need your immediate help ahead of Saturday's deadline. Our projections tell us that we can reach our final monthly goal in time to fully fund Democratic efforts for the final leg of the race, but only if 420 more people like you from Washington contribute whatever you can.
Will you donate $7 before Saturday’s final deadline to help put Joe Biden in the White House and elect Democrats up and down the ballot in November? We can’t take our foot off the gas now, so any amount would help right now.
Here’s where we are: We’ve erased the GOP's fundraising lead. That's a huge achievement -- but ultimately, that alone is not what's going to win this election. With just three days until the final deadline of the election and under a week to go until this race is over, we urgently need to be funding the final ads and battleground outreach that will result in unprecedented voter turnout for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats in tight races at every level.
Here's how we do it: If 420 folks from Washington chip in, we'll raise enough to place last-minute ad buys in our most critical battlegrounds and turn out voters exactly where we need to. This race is not over -- and if we let ourselves plateau in this final push, we'll risk everything we've done so far. So, I'm personally asking just one last time before the final deadline of this election:
Will you be one of 420 more people from Washington to donate $7 to the DNC before Saturday’s deadline? Your support could not come at a more important time for our entire party -- and especially for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Thank you,
Patrick

P.S. I was hoping I wouldn't have to send you a message like this one, but we're still behind on our final fundraising goal. I know that times are tough, but we really need you to step off the sidelines in this final push to win on November 3, so will you step up today and make a $7 donation before our final deadline? We’re short of our goal, and we need 420 more donors from Washington to meet this important benchmark.
