Earlier today, we checked our ActBlue donation data and received some tough news. Here’s a screenshot: This chart shows a steady decline in fundraising volume over the last few days. As the only Democrat beating Ron Johnson in the latest head-to-head poll of our race, Sarah can’t afford to fall behind — especially now that we’ve taken a big risk placing our first TV ad buy in Wisconsin. Many of our grassroots supporters stepped up to help us fill the seven-figure gap in our budget, but now, donations have slowed down. At this rate, we won’t meet our fundraising targets for the first FEC filing deadline of the year. It’s possible to turn this trend around within the next few hours. In fact, we know that if everyone receiving this email today decided to make their first donation to our campaign — including you — we would get back on track to meet our goal in no time at all. So, what do you say? Will you make your first donation to Sarah Godlewski's campaign for U.S. Senate before the March 31 FEC deadline? This is a critical time for our campaign to be growing and making difficult decisions that will set us up for success. We’re hoping Sarah can count on you today.
After March 31, we are legally required to report our fundraising totals to the Federal Election Commission. Those numbers will become publicly available to the press, our allies, and even the GOP who will use this report to verify if we have enough resources to compete with them on TV. While the amount of money we raise is important, what’s even more important is the number of people chipping in. Supporters like you have been the driving force behind our campaign, which is why your contribution matters so much today. Thanks for everything. — Team Sarah
