John —

This is Alisha’s campaign manager, Brian. I was planning on emailing you about tonight’s fundraising deadline, but then we got some troubling news: Alisha’s Republican opponent, incumbent Don Bacon, is entering the election year with nearly one million dollars on hand.

I’ll give it to you straight: we don’t have that kind of cash.

That’s because Alisha doesn’t have a network of millionaire pals and corporate PACs who can spend big on her campaign. She is an everyday person, raised right here in the district, reliant on social programs and attending Omaha public schools.

Alisha relies on grassroots supporters like you, John, who are willing to chip in $5 here or $10 there because you believe that it’s time for Nebraska to have a representative who will always put us first. Before tonight’s fundraising deadline, can we count on you to chip in anything you can spare so that we have the resources to stand up to Don Bacon?
