Hey! It's Jayla again, Finance Director for Erica Smith's campaign for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.
Now that we're past our April mid-month fundraising deadline, I wanted to loop you in on my campaign finance plan for the rest of the month:
FIRST: We raised just enough money to pass our ambitious mid-month fundraising goal last Thursday.
THEN: I ran a report in ActBlue this morning and realized that donations have drastically dropped since then.
NOW: Erica and I are reaching out to some folks from your area — including you — and we are humbly asking for a donation to help our fundraising get back on track.
As Erica's Finance Director, I promise I'll always be upfront with you. And believe me when I say that this North Carolina race is going to be extremely competitive.
We know Erica is up against the establishment (aka the machine that wants to nominate moderate white men like Jeff Jackson) in this Democratic primary.
But you know what's equally concerning? The fact that Lara Trump is leading the field of GOP Senate candidates, and is already topping Republican polls.
With stakes this high, it's absolutely imperative that we closely follow our online plans and keep fundraising on the up-and-up. That's why Erica and I are reaching out to folks from your area to respectfully ask:
Talk soon,
Jayla Gilliam
Finance Director, Erica Smith for North Carolina
