John,

I want to be honest with you about the state of the campaign before I ask
you for your help. [ [link removed] ]But if you’re ready to donate now, you can skip to
that part.

What we’ve built here is a bit of a unicorn in modern politics — very few
campaigns pull it off. A nationwide campaign funded by grassroots donors.
The vast majority of our money is donated online, most of it from emails
like this one!

So we’re very lucky for — and thankful to — the 226,461 donors who own a
piece of this campaign. Now, I want to get into the lay of the land.

Other candidates...

Tom Steyer has already spent several million dollars of his own money.
Bernie Sanders announced yesterday he has 1 million donors. Pete
Buttigieg, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were scheduled to attend at least
43 high-dollar fundraising events in the last couple weeks of the quarter.

Meanwhile, Beto’s visited Skid Row, Aurora, Colorado, and a weed
dispensary in Oakland. Most of our time is going to meeting with people
and making connections with voters. We don’t expect our fundraising total
this quarter to beat every one of these folks — and we certainly can’t
afford to write ourselves million-dollar checks like Tom Steyer. 😂BUT, we
have you! I’ll take hundreds of thousands of grassroots supporters over
one billionaire donor any day.

Our numbers...

We saw a real surge in donations after Beto’s breakout debate performance.
It was some of our best fundraising of the campaign! But, we had a slower
July to make up for. Plus, in August, we stopped sending our normal
fundraising emails for two weeks while we grieved with the people of El
Paso.

The outlook...

I wish it weren’t the case, but one of the biggest ways presidential
candidates get evaluated is by how much money they can raise. In 10 days,
we will close the books for our FEC deadline, and reporters and pundits
will scour the numbers.

If you post good numbers, people say good things about your campaign. If
you post bad numbers, they say you’re doomed! Of course, we know we’re on
the right track. If we keep pressing, we’ll have the resources we need to
win.

The goal...

Here’s the big announcement. We are setting a $750,000 online goal
starting today through the end of the quarter. That means every day we
need to raise about $75k. With an average contribution this quarter of
$22.63, we essentially need 3,315 Beto supporters to donate each day going
forward.

Goal: $750,000 in 10 days



[ [link removed] ]We can’t fall short in this FEC report, so we need to make a BIG push.
Can you be one of the first to make a $3 donation towards
our goal now?

[ [link removed] ]Donate $3 now



Without a dime from PACs, lobbyists, or special interests, the only way
for Beto to win this primary and defeat Donald Trump is through hundreds
of thousands of people stepping up to donate. So whether you give $1 or
$100, it’s not important. It’s just about everyone giving something, and
being in this movement together.

The team will be reaching out with a lot of updates over the next 10 days
as we reach for this goal, but [ [link removed] ]I hope you’ll consider kicking us off
well by contributing today.

Thanks for all you do,

Jen O'Malley Dillon
Campaign Manager
