Hi team,

I’m Don, Sean’s new campaign manager. I wanted to formally introduce myself.

It’s my job to build the infrastructure Sean needs to run a strong re-election campaign -- like hiring staff, setting up offices around the district, and putting together a long-term budget.

But before I can do any of those things, we need to raise some money. Meeting our end-of-quarter fundraising goal will give me the resources I need to hit the ground running -- can you help me close our budget gap before tomorrow night with a $5, $25 or $50 donation today?

One of the first things I did when I started on Team Casten was look over the fundraising reports from Sean’s previous campaigns. Grassroots donations from online ads and emails like this one make up a HUGE part of Sean’s campaign fundraising!

Folks like you are the power behind this campaign, and none of our work would be possible without you. So I’m reaching out personally to ask you to make a donation before the first FEC deadline of the year. We still need about 300 donations -- will you chip in?

I’m looking forward to working with you!

Don Black
Campaign Manager
Casten for Congress

P.S. I have a meeting with Sean later today and I’d really like to tell him we’re making progress towards our goal. If you can make a donation of any amount, we’d appreciate it >>
