John,

We’re halfway through our first full calendar month of the campaign and we have some news to share with you about our grassroots base.

We’ll start with the good news: Josh’s reach online is growing quickly, including a recent tweet that had over 4,000 retweets! This tweet alone TRIPLED Josh’s online following.

But, we’ll remind you of the bad news: Claudia Tenney has an enormous online Twitter following (73,000+!) to fund her deep warchest. And she’s already on the attack against Josh.

So, John, we need to fundraise aggressively before the end of the year to ensure that our positive and hopeful message can spread as far and wide as Claudia’s divisive rhetoric.

That’s why we’re launching a mid-month fundraising drive to make sure we stay on track. John, we need to raise $2,500 by Saturday night JUST from these emails. Can you pitch in $5 or more right now to amplify Josh’s message?

Our efforts today will determine what shape we are in to win next year, so we appreciate your early investment in our campaign.

Thank you for standing with us,

Riley HQ
