John,
I don't want you to feel like the sky is falling because that's not what this email is about. But I do want to take a moment to explain why I need your immediate support for my re-election campaign.
Early investments in any campaign are important. The money we raise early on can often have a bigger impact than a last minute surge in donations a few weeks before an election. Early money helps us make a plan to win -- and gives us an idea of how we can afford it.
Everything from voter outreach, running our email program, hosting campaign events, and building a volunteer program costs money. Our opponents are gearing up to bring back Sam Brownback-era policies that destroyed our state so starting these programs early-on gives us a leg up.
But as of 8 a.m. CT this morning, our August fundraising numbers aren't looking so good.
There's a lot on the line in 2022 -- the future of Medicaid expansion, our economy, and a fully-funded public education system. We've built a strong grassroots team, but we're gearing up for our toughest fight yet.
It's not going to be easy, especially when Inside Elections, Cook Political Report, The Kansas City Star, AND Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight are all calling me one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in 2022. I know that's not the best news to share with you, but it's important that we run an honest and transparent campaign.
We already defied the odds when we took back this seat in 2018, and we can do it again in 2022, but I can't win without your help. Pitch in $5 or more right away to help us get our August fundraising back on track.
