Team,

Today marks our first end-of-quarter fundraising deadline for 2022. In this critical midterm election year, Republicans are spinning a narrative that their victory at the polls is inevitable. All eyes will be on Democrats when we release our fundraising numbers in just a few days.

But here’s the current reality of this cycle: Republican narratives have discouraged Democrats already.

To be blunt, fundraising is down across the board. And that does not bode well for our chances of protecting and expanding our House majority.

So here’s the deal, team: In order to run the kind of grassroots campaign we want to win re-election, we still need to raise $10,000 before midnight.

Yep, that’s a big number.

This month, our average online contribution is $12.43. In order to raise $10,000 with an average contribution of $12.43, we need 805 of you to chip in as soon as possible.

If you are able, please consider making a contribution of $12.43 or more to help us reach our end-of-quarter fundraising goal today.

We greatly appreciate your support.
