John,
As Election Day draws closer, this campaign just keeps building momentum! The Cook Political Report says the race is a toss-up, so everyone from our field staff to Andy’s former primary opponents have been working their tails off on the trail -- and it’s paying off.
But there are still just a little more than four months to go, and we are up against two major challenges:
-
Bevin’s deep-pocketed allies are already spending a ton of money to blunt our momentum. They went up with vicious attack ads the day after the primary election, and they’re surely planning even more.
-
We just got word today that Matt Bevin personally loaned his campaign $2 million, and there’s plenty more where that came from.
Matt Bevin is clearly running scared. And he’s relying on his big money, special-interest backers, and his own personal fortune to bail him out.
We don’t need to match Bevin’s self-funding dollar for dollar, but running a winning campaign is going to take a lot of resources. Andy isn’t a multimillionaire with billionaire buddies -- that’s why we need every member of this grassroots team to pitch in what they can if Andy’s going to win!
So with our all-important end-of-month deadline coming up in just two days, we’ve set a goal of bringing 200 new donors on board before the deadline. Will you make your first donation today to help us meet it?
Thanks for your support,
Team Beshear
