Hi, John — it's Jesse, Jamaal's Finance Director.
One of the biggest sources of fundraising revenue for most campaigns is "call time": the time candidates get on the phone to call wealthy donors for contributions to their campaign.
Call time can be a very lucrative way to raise money for a campaign. But call time means we lose out on valuable time that can be spent legislating and advocating for long-lasting change in our communities. That's why Jamaal doesn't do call time.
So what's the most effective way to raise money without call time? It's through emails just like this one.
With a laundry list of big plans in the upcoming months, it's so important that our movement has the funding and resources we need to continue pushing for transformative change in Congress and in our communities.
Thanks to the power of our grassroots supporters, Jamaal has been able to dedicate 100% his time in Congress so far to shaking the status quo in our government systems. By researching community issues, legislating, attending committee meetings, and reaching out to constituents to listen to our community needs, Jamaal is leading our movement for change.
But if we want to continue to see this transformative change, we need your support to ensure that Jamaal can continue to dedicate 100% of his time towards legislating, not campaigning or fundraising.
In solidarity,
Jesse Guy-Herman, Finance Director
Bowman For Congress
