John,

I probably say it in my sleep: All the experts agree that Laura is the most vulnerable Democrat on the ballot this year.

As Laura's campaign manager, I say it to donors, volunteers, consultants, committees, and even my own family.

But I'm here to say it again: Laura is vulnerable! Dark-money groups are spending a fortune to smear Laura's record! And every campaign rating so far shows this race is a true "toss-up!"

Yes, that was a lot of exclamation points, but I'm not being hyperbolic. If we miss our goal, we'll fall behind, and we'll be playing catch-up in May. We absolutely cannot afford that when we're getting ready to launch a new TV ad.

So please, chip in whatever you can, right now, and help us reach our 1,293 online donor goal by Saturday at midnight.

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

In less than four years, Laura reached across the aisle, built consensus, and moved Kansas from massive budget deficits to the biggest revenue surplus the state has seen in decades. Then she cut taxes for Kansas families.

Now, I'm not expecting us to come up with a $3 billion campaign surplus this month, but unlike the people who used to run this state, I do expect us to raise enough money to pay our bills.

So, I'm counting on you to do whatever you can to help us reach our goal so we can pay for our next round of airtime, get out the vote, and keep Kansas moving forward.

Will you rush a donation right now to help us reach our end-of-April online donor goal? Whether you chip in the average of $28, a $2 bill, or $2,800, your donation is critical to keeping us on track.

Thanks for being a part of the team,

Shelbi Dantic
Campaign Manager
