Friends, we’ll be upfront: we’re behind on our May fundraising goal.

In a normal month, we could count on grassroots supporters to step up and help us get back on track in the last few days of the month.

But with Memorial Day weekend, we know folks aren’t going to be checking their email as often. That’s why we need to ask you now: will you chip in $25 to help us hit our $20,000 goal?

We normally see a surge of grassroots donations at the end of the month. But this year Memorial Day falls on the 31st, and we’re expecting a huge drop-off in donations.

We can’t afford to fall short right now. House election analysts just reported that as things stand, our race is a toss-up.

We’re counting on supporters like you to help us avoid a slump right before our end-of-month deadline. Can you chip in $25?
