Friend,

I’ll keep this quick — on Friday my team set a goal of raising $15,000 before today’s FEC deadline. Right now we are a little shy of that goal. I’m writing to ask you for a contribution, but I also want to explain why this deadline is so important – especially for a campaign like ours that doesn’t take corporate PAC money.

Georgia is the most important battleground state in the country in 2020. We are the only state with two U.S. Senate seats up for election, not to mention the 16 electoral votes that will be critical to Democrats winning back the White House.

We are building a 159-county strategy to reach voters from metro Atlanta to central and south Georgia. I've been to cities like Cairo and Bainbridge that aren’t going to draw a lot of media attention – but they’re some of the places hardest hit by the Trump trade war and absent disaster relief in the months after Hurricane Michael.

I want to represent ALL of Georgia. I’m fighting for universal healthcare, a $15 minimum wage, and restoring the Voting Rights Act. We can win this race.

Our average email contribution right now is about $32. Can you chip in $5 right now to help build this campaign in all 159 Georgia counties?

Your support this early on is what’s going to build the foundation of flipping Georgia blue in 2020. Thank you.

Yours truly,
Teresa
