| Friends, we set a goal to raise $200,000 before Election Day to cover our final campaign expenditures, and you've stepped up big time. Right now, we still have $100,000 to raise by Election Night. To stay on pace, we need to raise $20,000 today; otherwise, we'll need to cut back from our final weekend of Get Out the Vote. Will you donate whatever you can to help us reach $20,000 by the end of the day? I appreciate every single one of you for sticking by my side through this entire campaign. It’s been a rough year, but we’re almost victorious! -- Audrey

----- Forwarded Message -----  Where do your donations go? In the spirit of transparency, we want to share what we've been using our funds for and what we need to finish this race and WIN! But first, I'd like to ask you to dig deep in support of this movement to finally oust Rep. LaMalfa. Can you help us keep this campaign going in the final 8 days of the campaign by donating $20 today? The most expensive part of running a competitive campaign is paid media. The television ads you are seeing, the mail you receive in your homes and the micro-targeted digital ads make up our biggest expense. Our total general election budget was just under 2 million dollars. That is the identified cost of running a professional, hard-working, data and message-based campaign. Of those funds here is the breakdown of where it was allotted. - 10% for payroll for our 23 staff positions
- 70% for our television ads, mail, and digital outreach program. We have
- 5 TV ads running across the district, vastly outspending the Congressman in many areas.
- 15% for our field program
- We anticipate that we will have made 1 million calls and texts by the time we get to election day. This has been facilitated by over 200 interns, 1,000 volunteers and our field staff team across the district.
- 5% for general overhead (things like rent/utilities, payroll taxes, software, accountants and legal fees)
So what is left to raise? An additional $200,000 between now and Election Day. This is an achievable goal if we all dig deep and make some final contributions to this campaign proudly funded by grassroots donors. If you haven't given yet, now is the most crucial time. Can we count on you to chip in $20? Thanks,
