John,

It all comes down to this -- our first end-of-quarter deadline is in just a few hours. After that, we’ll have to report our fundraising total, and then the pundits will have a field day picking winners and losers based on a single number.

If that number falls short of our goal, they'll say we’re dead in the water. And this could be catastrophic for a campaign like ours that is still building momentum and growing. The stakes could not be higher.

If everyone reading this right now contributed just $5, we would be in all the headlines when our fundraising number goes public. Help make us the leading campaign in this race -- contribute $5, $10, or whatever you can NOW!

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

When I first ran for mayor, I was told I didn’t have what it takes. That I was too young, too naive, and too unrealistic. But I succeeded in being elected as the youngest ever mayor of Clarkston and transformed our city into the progressive, inclusive place it is today.

And with your support, I can go from Mayor to Senator and bring our collective progressive values from Clarkston to all of Georgia.

Let’s show Georgia and the rest of the country what our grassroots army is capable of. Contribute to our campaign before this quarter runs out in the next few hours -- chip in $5 or $10 now!

With gratitude,

-- Ted
