John,
In a moment, we're going to ask you for your first donation before midnight tonight to help elect Beto as Texas' next Governor.
Here's why this is so important: Usually we have 30-31 days to hit our monthly fundraising goals, but this month we only have 28 days. That means every single email we send needs to bring in more donations than an average December or January email did.
As of 10:30AM CT this morning, we're officially running short of what we need to raise in February to fund next month's budget. Our projections show that if we continue at this pace, we'll fall 15% short of our monthly fundraising goal.
Falling short would mean delaying critical investments in our organizing program, so we've set an emergency goal to raise $50,000 in online grassroots donations before midnight tonight to close the gap. John, will you chip in $3 or more to help hit this make-or-break goal and power our campaign to defeat Greg Abbott?
Our next mandatory filing deadline is coming up quickly on February 19, and reporters are already starting to reach out to ask if we're going to be outraised by Abbott and his corporate mega-donors again.
All eyes are on this campaign to see if we have what it takes to flip Texas. We can't let something as trivial as a 28-day month keep us from hitting our goals and having the campaign infrastructure we need to take on Greg Abbott.
The work to elect Beto as Texas' next Governor starts with hitting tonight's $50,000 emergency goal. Please, will you contribute $3, or any amount that is meaningful to you, today to help us get back on track to hit our February fundraising goal, report huge numbers to the Texas Ethics Commission, and defeat Abbott once and for all?
Thank you, John. Together, we'll achieve the big, bold things we want for Texas.
— Beto for Texas
