John, we’ve got some news for you.
First, the good news: Beto had a breakout performance at the debate, and now our fundraising is going up.⬆
Now, the bad news: The Washington Post reports that three of our opponents are holding at least 43 high-dollar donor fundraising events before the FEC deadline, where they’ll collect lots of $2,800 checks.
Truthfully, while more people are getting involved in Beto’s campaign, our average contribution is actually declining. It’s just $22 this past week.⬇ For each $2,800 check to our opponents, we need to match it with 127 online donations.
It’s tough for a grassroots campaign like ours to compete with candidates who are raking in the big donor money. But if enough of us chip in online, we can go toe-to-toe with even the most well-funded candidates in this race.
Thanks for everything you do,
Team Beto
