Hey team, we are in our end-of-quarter fundraising period, and we need to ask for your support.

We know you understand how crucial grassroots fundraising is for our people-powered campaign, so we won’t use any silly gimmicks to trick you into donating. But once you’re done reading this email, we hope you’ll consider chipping in to help us reach the most important fundraising goal we’ve ever had.

We just set a goal of raising $6,000 before the end of the fundraising quarter on December 31, because we know that’s how much money we need to raise to stay on track building a winning campaign. After the quarter ends, Annika will go over all of our grassroots fundraising data and send it over to the Federal Election Commission. Everyone -- and we do mean everyone -- will be able to see just how strong our campaign is and how many supporters have chipped in.

Here’s the thing: Our opponents will be scouring that report for any sign of weakness. We need to ensure that we show our campaign is as strong as possible, and that starts by reaching our $6,000 goal. That’s why we need to ask -- and we won’t sugarcoat it -- can you chip in right away and help us crush this goal?

No gimmicks, friends: This grassroots fundraising goal reflects the campaign plan we designed to win this race. Please chip in and help us prove to our opponents we have a grassroots fundraising team that Republicans can’t beat.
