John,
At the end of the month, we’ll submit an official fundraising report to the Federal Election Commission. They publish it on FEC.gov, where anyone can download a PDF file detailing how much we’ve raised for Beto. When you search Beto’s name now, you see $13,020,990.72 — what we raised through last quarter:
Once this number gets updated after the September deadline, reporters and our opponents will compare our fundraising to other candidates. We want to make sure Beto’s numbers show we have momentum. That’s why we really need to raise $750,000 more through the end of the month.
These numbers may seem daunting, but don’t worry! There are a lot of us supporting Beto out there. And if each person donates a little bit, we’ll meet our goal in no time and post a good report to the FEC website.
Thanks,
Team Beto
