John xxxxxx —

In just a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a contribution to my re-election campaign. Please give me a chance to explain why this request is so important.

Here's the truth:

In just a few hours, we close the books on our October fundraising deadline. And when it’s done, we’ll be nearly one year out from Election Day.

So we’re racing to the deadline at midnight to hit our 1,000 contribution goal and finish this month on the strongest note possible. It’s a big goal, but one I think we can achieve together.

It would mean so much to me to have your support in these final hours, so I am respectfully asking:

If you are able, will you make a $10 donation to our campaign? It’s going to take a lot of people chipping in a few bucks at a time to help reach our 1,000 contribution October fundraising goal and keep House Democrats in the majority.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I’m going to check back in after the deadline is over to update you on our progress. I’m hopeful that with your support we can continue fueling our efforts to hold this seat and defend our Democratic House majority.

I can’t thank you enough for all of the hard work you’ve put into this campaign. It means so much to have you with me.

Keep the faith,
