If I had my way, I’d spend my entire campaign on the trail talking to voters.

Instead, I have to allocate a massive chunk of my energy and calendar to call time – asking people for money to fuel my campaign.

But you can help me, John – my staff told me that if I can raise $2,500 with today’s email, I can spend an extra couple hours on the trail this weekend, off the phones.

With our big end-of-month goal coming up, fundraising is critical – will you chip in to my campaign today so that I can spend the weekend talking to voters face-to-face, rather than cold-calling?

Don’t get me wrong – I understand that cold-calling potential donors is a huge part of the deal, but between you and me, I could use a break this weekend.

Nothing gets me more psyched than meeting voters across the district and having real conversations with them about the issues that matter most to rural Coloradans.

So how about it, John – will you donate toward my end-of-month goal today so that I can be out on the trail?

I’ll see you out there!

Best,
Donald
