Team,

I couldn’t be more proud of the endorsements we’ve received this month. That said, I want to be clear: I got into this race to fight for Maryland families. I didn’t get into this race for praise, and I certainly didn’t get into it because I like asking you for money. But tomorrow is our October fundraising deadline, and my finance team just gave me an update:

It’s looking like we’re going to fall short of our 350 online donation goal this month.

Our records show that you haven’t donated toward our October goal yet. If you pitch in $7 or more today, your gift won’t just go a long way toward winning, it’ll get us one step closer to Annapolis where we can get to work helping 350,000 uninsured Marylanders, workers struggling to access unemployment benefits, and families just fighting to get by. Please give what you can right now.

Team, I know how precious your hard-earned money is. I worked on the back of a garbage truck to help pay my way through college.

That’s why I don’t take asking you for a campaign contribution lightly. But if like me, you believe that we need more schools and not more prisons, that a different skin color shouldn’t mean a different sentence for the same crime, and that reproductive rights are fundamental rights, please rush $7 or more to my campaign right now:

Thank you so much for helping,

Tom
