John,
Let me cut to the chase: we’re more than halfway through the month, and we’re falling short of where we need to be to hit our first FEC fundraising goal of the year.
After the reporting deadline hits at the end of the month, party leaders and pundits will be looking closely at our public fundraising numbers to analyze the strength of our campaign.
I’m a Frontline Democrat defending one of the must-win battleground districts of 2022, and I’ve already been named a top target for national Republicans. That’s why we really need our numbers to send a message -- will you help us bring in 96 more donations before midnight to show that we’ve got the grassroots support we need to WIN?
I won by single digits, and outside groups will spend millions to unseat me (no really, they spent over $3 MILLION against me in 2020).
But this team has beaten the odds before -- and I know we have it in us to defend VA-02 once more.
Let’s get this done,
Elaine
