Hey John,
We wanted to reach out to you before our end-of-month fundraising deadline (happening in five days) with an update on our campaign finances — and we thought we'd do that by sharing a couple of screenshots from our ActBlue.
As promised, here's the day-by-day fundraising graph we see when we first log into ActBlue. You can see that our donations in the past couple of days have really fallen — right as our fundraising should be ramping up towards a critical campaign deadline.
We also use ActBlue to look at the broader picture of how our fundraising's been, month-over-month. Here's a screenshot of our fundraising performance over the past three months:
As you can see, we're well behind on fundraising this month compared to August and September — despite the fact that we're closer than we've ever been to Jamaal's upcoming primary election.
And with less than 250 days to go until the primary, it's critical that our fundraising stays strong and consistent to fund our organizing efforts and voter outreach — both of which will be key to remaining competitive against our challengers, and towards keeping Jamaal in Congress.
— Team Bowman
P.S. We wanted to share just one more screenshot with you: the average contribution to our campaign.
Our average contribution is one of our favorite parts of ActBlue. It's a reminder that our movement is largely powered by grassroots donors who give what they can, when they can — even if that's $5, $10, or $22.67 at a time. It's also a reminder that we don't need dark money or corporate PACs to fund the work that we do. If you're with us, please chip in what you can.
