Hey John,

I know you’ve been following our campaign for some time now, and I’m hoping you can help me out. I noticed you haven’t supported our campaign financially before, and I want to tell you why I’m asking you to consider doing so, and why I’m asking now.

In 2020 we won the closest race anywhere in the state for the Democrats and they are coming for us again. If they win here, Republicans will have a super-majority in the legislature and essentially unchecked power.

The reason I’m asking now is, Republicans are currently deciding how to draw maps to gerrymander us into irrelevancy. Having an impressing fundraising report, with lots of individual donors is more important now than ever. By making a big stand today, we can help fend off the attacks to come.

Please consider contributing just $5.

If we all do our part, $5 is all it would take for us to beat back the dark-money that will be spent against us. But if you ignore this e-mail, someone else will have to make up the difference, and so I’m asking YOU to help lighten the load.

Together, we can win. We have won. We will win. But, divided we will fall.

Stand with me, and let’s go win!
