Hi Jack!

I know it’s Friday and you’re probably busy getting ready for the weekend, but I needed to check in with you about something I keep hearing in call time.

Because I don’t have a primary challenger, donors tell me they don’t feel the urgency to support my race with about nine months until November’s election.

But let me tell you: This campaign has *big* plans for how this progressive Democrat will go toe-to-toe with the Arkansas GOP.

We want to get the campaign in front of people in a variety of ways.

I’m talking about launching *several* radio ads, tv ads, digital ads, direct mailers, and on-the-ground voter communications strategies, but we can’t spend money we don’t have. (And I don’t have $50k to loan to myself to cover those *critical* campaign budgets like some of my opponents.)

Early money is everything. It helps us plan ahead and invests in the strategies that we know will help my campaign compete and boost the efforts of every other Democratic candidate running in our state.

You may be thinking, “Don’t spend money here, spend it there instead.” But the reality is that the more times people see my name, the more likely they are to vote for me. So we’ve got to go hard.

Rush $250, $100, $50, $25, or any amount you can now to help us invest in these strategies early.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

We’re coming up on one of those big campaign moments where we need to finalize our plans for the coming months: Our March 31 end-of-quarter filing deadline.

You and I both know Arkansas is *not* a red state, it’s a non-voting state. Winning this race for Lt. Gov will be all about reaching voters and earning their support, so I *need* to make sure my team has the resources to have tough conversations like the one we had today with people all across the state.

So, if you haven’t given yet or have been waiting to give, or even if you've already given but might be in a position to send another donation my way, I have a favor to ask of you:

Will you please give any amount you can toward our first public filing deadline of 2022? We can’t afford to miss this goal, and we’re still $7,400 short of what we need to raise before the March 31 deadline.

As a mom of seven, I’m sure you can imagine how much of a relief it is when I know we’ve got things all in place ahead of time. You don’t even know how grateful I’d be if you could pitch in today to help us close the gap and plan ahead.

I couldn’t do this without you.

More soon,

Kelly

P.S. I was at a conference in Little Rock and was completely sick to miss out on watching the UA game with my boys last night. But they kindly FaceTimed me and were 30 seconds behind the live game. So not only did I get to watch us win, I also got to watch my crew watch us win. My heart is so dadgum full ❤️ WOO PIGS!!!
