Hey, John — so we're almost at our end-of-quarter FEC deadline.
Remember, that's when we’re legally required to report out all our latest fundraising numbers to the feds. The press (and our GOP opponents) are going to scour these numbers and gauge our momentum.
A lot of donations? That means John Fetterman has the momentum to win.
Too few donations? That makes our team look beatable.
Because this is high stakes stuff, we generally try to make a really big push right before the closing deadline.
John, the truth is, we're still behind on our goal for the quarter. And if we don't see a quick surge of support, we could miss it. We were trying to find out why, and then we noticed this… our average donation has gone down since our campaign first began:
We started up there in the $31 range. Now we're down somewhere around $22.
In a weird way, we're proud of it! Here's why:
A low average donation is the hallmark of a real people-powered campaign. It shows that we're not funded solely by a bunch of rich elites with deep pockets.
But, on the other hand, it means the money we used to raise from two donations — well, now we need three to raise the same amount!
We can't afford to miss our goal because of the aforementioned high stakes — reporters, media narratives, yada yada. So, we're asking everyone who hasn't donated to make their very first contribution to John Fetterman today — that'll help us close the gap.
Look, if you can give ANY amount at all today, that makes you a hero in our books. Seriously, it means a lot to us.
If you can't give today, we understand, and that's OK too.
At the end of the day, we're proud that we're the only campaign in this race with way more than 300,000+ grassroots contributions. It says a lot about the kind of inclusive, grassroots movement we’re building. And it means a lot when it comes to flipping a swing state like Pennsylvania.
Thank you for all you do.
— Team Fetterman
P.S. Even if you can't donate $31 or $22 or anywhere near our average donation, your contribution of even a modest amount *really* helps add up on our FEC report. And if you're the kind of person who can afford to do more, that helps a lot too. So, please, consider making a donation now before our deadline hits.
