Hey John, it’s Maddy, your friendly neighborhood finance director.

This Thursday, September 30, is a really big day for us here on Team Bishop: it’s our campaign’s very first FEC end-of-quarter deadline.

You’re probably wondering what that is and why it matters. Let me explain:

Every quarter, political campaigns are required to disclose their fundraising to the Federal Elections Commission. These aren’t just a bunch of random numbers: things like number of grassroots donors, average contribution, and total dollars raised are key indicators of our strength in this race to elect Laurie and make Montana a politically balanced, purple state again.

We still need 129 donations to hit our goal before the end of the month! Will you be one of them by pitching in $5 or more right now?

Remember: Laurie isn’t accepting ANY donations from corporate PACs. That means now more than ever, we’re counting on grassroots donors like you to chip in whatever you can afford to fuel this movement and keep Laurie on the campaign trail.

The more we raise before we close the books on our first quarter, the better our chances of having the resources we need to put Laurie on the ballot to beat Zinke in 2022 and give Montana a leader who will represent everyone.

So, what do you say? Can you kick in a few bucks to help us reach our goal before Thursday?

Thanks for anything you can give to support Laurie, we can’t do this without you!

Maddy
