John, this isn’t the news I was hoping to share with you this morning.

Our team just walked through the numbers and it’s clear we run the risk of missing our critical reporting deadline tonight — endangering our efforts to win the primary in just 12 days.

I’ll be honest, this budget issue is coming at the worst time. After tonight’s deadline, our fundraising numbers will go public and folks will see how much we’ve raised and how many have chipped in.

That’s why I’m reaching out right now with an urgent request as we try to make up for this temporary lapse in our fundraising. So, I’m asking:

Will you please add a donation of $10 (or more!) to help us catch up and hit our important goal tonight?

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

If we manage to get back on track in the next few hours, it’ll be because a lot of folks like you stepped up.

Thanks for pitching in, if you can.
