John,
I want to share this screenshot that one of my staff members sent me from our ActBlue backend. It’s a bar graph of our fundraising from our end-of-quarter fundraising campaign:
Looking at this now, I just have one thing to say, John: Thank you.
We shared with you that this end-of-quarter fundraising deadline that just passed was the most important deadline we’ve had all year.
We shared with you that we were named an “election to watch”, and that we’ll likely face one of the tightest congressional races in the country next year.
We shared that if we wanted to remain competitive, there were a lot of early investments we needed to make—now.
And when we shared all those things, thousands of you stepped up to chip in and support us. And because of numerous small-dollar donors from across the country, our team was able to reach our ambitious $125,000 quarterly fundraising goal.
Reaching this goal, running this campaign, and everything we do is possible because of the small-dollar donations from grassroots supporters like you. Thank you for supporting my campaign, time and again.
With immense gratitude,
Katie Porter
