John, this grassroots team means everything to Cori. So, with our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline coming up in just one week, we wanted to give you a transparent update:
We'll start with the good news: Cori is delivering for St. Louis and every single person she represents in the halls of Congress. From her first stand-alone bill passing in the House, to readying legislation to transform our system of public safety, Cori is working hard to pass the change our communities urgently need.
But here's the bad news we currently face: Our fundraising has started to fall. Because Cori doesn't rely on corporate PACs or wealthy friends to support her in Congress — it's a big deal when we fall short on our small-dollar donations.
That's why today we're officially launching a goal to raise $200,000 by the end of the fundraising quarter on Wednesday at midnight. With just seven days until our deadline, can you chip in $7 to help meet our goal in time to make sure Cori has the funds to continue organizing and legislating for bold, anti-racist, progressive change in Congress?
Let us explain why your $7 donation today can make a huge difference, John.
Last quarter, Cori received the most small-dollar donations of all new Democratic members of the House. That's because Cori's not a career politician. She made her way to Congress through the power of community — and lots of small-dollar donations of whatever folks could afford.
This fundraising deadline isn't the same as any other deadline because at the end of this quarter we'll be reporting our fundraising numbers to the FEC. And potential future 2022 challengers are going to be assessing the strength of our fundraising report — our numbers could even determine whether or not Cori will have a primary opponent.
There's a lot at stake when it comes to reaching our fundraising goal by Wednesday — but we trust that our grassroots supporters will pitch in and help pull this off in time. Can you step up and chip in $7 or more to help Cori reach our critical end-of-quarter fundraising deadline in seven days?
Together,
Team Cori
