I’ll be honest, folks — we’re only about 67% of the way to our monthly fundraising goal with about a week to go. So in just a moment, I will ask you to make a contribution. But first, I’d like to explain why.

Every three months, candidates for federal office must report their fundraising details to the Federal Election Commission. It’s a way of ensuring transparency in our elections. Our FEC report will show the amount of money we have raised and the number of people who have chipped in to help.

It’s also a big test of this campaign’s strength. Democrats have a razor-thin majority in the Senate right now. If Republicans flip just one seat next year, Mitch McConnell will be back in charge.

That’s why right-wing groups and special interests will be poring over our report to look for any sign of weakness. They want to see just how strong (or vulnerable) our Democratic majority is. So, I’m asking:

I know how powerful this grassroots team is. But with just a few days until our numbers become public, we cannot afford to fall short on our first FEC goal of 2021. Can I count on you to add a donation now?

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

Chip in $10 now Chip in $17.77 now

Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now

Chip in $250 now Another Amount

This is our first FEC goal of 2021 and it’s critical we report the strongest numbers possible. I’m counting on your grassroots contribution, whether it’s $1 or $50, to help us do that.

Thanks,

Jon
