Midnight tonight marks our party's critical October deadline, John, less than one week before key elections in several important states. After running our latest numbers, I fear we're at risk of coming up short.

When we fall short of our fundraising goals, it's not just an issue for the DNC. Coming up short of our goals means that Democrats everywhere -- including our eventual presidential nominee -- could lack the infrastructure they'll need to take on Trump and the GOP's machine. That is not an option our country can afford.

According to our calculations, if just 21 more donors from Washington donate before midnight we'll be able to meet this month's fundraising goal and stay on track to elect Democrats nationwide.

Will you be one of the 21 more donors from Washington to make a $3 gift before midnight? Your donation will be put straight to work to help fund the infrastructure it will take to beat Trump up and down the ticket.

When our party falls behind on fundraising, we fall behind on critical infrastructure building, and we simply can't afford that at this point in the game. That is why what I'm asking of you today is so important.

You have yet to contribute to the DNC this year. I am asking you to make your first donation of the year before tonight's deadline. You and other Democrats in Washington can make all the difference for our party and our future presidential nominee by donating in these final hours.

Will you be one of the 21 more donors needed from Washington to donate $3 before midnight? Democrats are counting on you to support the infrastructure we need to win.

We're counting on you,

Joe
