Hey John — we're almost at our mid-month deadline, a.k.a. the halfway point to our next public reporting deadline with the FEC.
Remember, the news media (and our GOP opponents) are going to scour these numbers next quarter to gauge our campaign’s momentum.
A lot of donations? That means John Fetterman has the momentum to win.
Too few donations? That makes John Fetterman look beatable.
Because this is high stakes stuff, we generally try to make a really big push right before these deadlines.
John, the truth is, we're behind where we need to be for the month. And if we don't see a quick surge of support, we could miss our goal. We were trying to find out why, and then we logged into ActBlue noticed this… our average donation has gone down since our campaign first began:
We started up there in the $31 range. Now we're down to $21.90.
In a weird way, we're proud of it! Here's why:
A low average donation is the hallmark of a real people-powered campaign. It shows that we’re not funded solely by a bunch of rich elites with deep pockets.
But, on the other hand, it means the money we used to raise from two donations — well, now we need three to raise the same amount!
We can't afford to miss our mid-month goal because of the aforementioned high stakes — reporters, media narratives, yada yada. So, we're asking everyone who hasn't donated to make their very first contribution to John Fetterman today — that'll help us close the gap.
Look, if you can give ANY amount at all today, that makes you a hero in our books. Seriously, it means a lot to us.
If you can't give today, we understand, and that's OK too.
At the end of the day, we're proud that we're the only campaign in this race with way more than 375,000+ grassroots contributions. It says a lot about the kind of inclusive, grassroots movement we’re building. And it means a lot when it comes to flipping a swing state like Pennsylvania.
Thank you for all you do.
— Team Fetterman
P.S. Even if you can't donate $31 or $21 or anywhere near our average donation, any amount you can spare *really* helps. And if you're the kind of person who can afford to do more, that helps a lot too. So, please, consider making a donation now before our deadline hits.
