Hey John.
If you’re anything like me (cares about the future of our country, invested in Democrats’ success up and down the ballot, a User of the Internet), you’re probably getting a million emails about the end-of-quarter deadline coming up in just 3 days.
But I wanted to make sure you saw the one my team sent you on Friday, because everything they said is true, especially and most importantly this:
With help from grassroots supporters like you, we can win this race.
So, contribute now to make your impact and flip this seat blue in 2022 (hey that rhymes, I should write a jingle with that)!

Also, this deadline is a real thing! It’s the first time that the FEC (the federal agency that regulates campaign finance) releases fundraising totals to the public, which makes it the first time that allies and opponents alike will be able to gauge our strength.
It has massive implications™ for the months ahead. We’ve laid a strong foundation in the first month of this campaign, so I’m not worried (just kidding, I’m always worried because, well, have you seen the state of our planet? Also, I’m Jewish and a worrier by nature), but if you make one $10 or $20 donation to help us get to our goal of 500 small-dollar donations (we’re at 283 so far), we’ll be that much closer to beating Scott Franklin and flipping this seat.

Thanks for your support,
Eddie
P.S. Whether or not you donate, I promise you one thing: I’ll never use deceptive tactics in my emails to you. No 5x matches, weirdly aggressive threats, fake interview invites, “I’m going to burn your house down if you don’t give me $5”, etc. It’s just me, my jokes and bits, and a mission to bring real leadership back to Florida’s 15th District.

Subject: Our first major deadline
Let's cut right to it today, John:
Do you want to flip this House seat for Democrats in 2022 and hold Scott Franklin accountable for his failed leadership?
Chip in $10 or $20 to help this campaign do it! Our first big deadline is coming up in a week, and we want to show the world how much support we have.

There’s a lot you already know about Scott Franklin (because you’ve been reading all of our wonderful, educational, helpful emails — which, again, thank you):
Voted to overturn a free and fair election
Voted (like, three days ago) to shut down the government for purely partisan reasons Anti-choice, loathes the idea of letting people do what they please with their own bodies
Voted against an infrastructure package that would: provide paid leave to help parents and caretakers recover from illness or care for family members; expand Medicare to help more people access good, affordable healthcare; invest in education to give our kids more equitable opportunities; address climate change to help us all not die; and a million other things
C’mon, Scott, do better!
(He won’t, so we’ll replace him).
But did you also know that Mr. Franklin is one of the weakest fundraisers among House GOP freshmen? And did you know that our campaign, in just our first 24 hours, raised about half as much as Scott had raised all year?
Let us put that another way: We can win this race.
To do so, we’re gonna have to keep our foot (feet?) on the gas, and we’re gonna need all the help we can get from grassroots supporters like you and your mom.
The end-of-quarter deadline coming up at the end of this month is our first big test, and will be the first time our fundraising numbers are made public — can you pitch in whatever you’re able to help us show the strength behind Eddie’s campaign to flip FL-15?
