This is not the email I want to be sending, John. There’s no way to sugarcoat it; April has been a slow month for online fundraising. With the primary election only two and a half weeks away, we cannot afford to fall short of our fundraising goals.

So, to get us where we need to be, we need to raise $10,000 before the end-of-month fundraising deadline on Sunday. Can Valerie count on you to step up and pitch in what you’re able today?

Our campaign is powered by grassroots donations from emails like this. And, with the election so close, worrying about fundraising is the last thing we want Valerie focused on. Instead, we want to make sure in these critical final weeks, Valerie is spending time connecting with voters and community members so she can win on Election Day.

I believe we are all in this together, and if everyone reading this email pitched in what they can, we’d reach our goal in no time. Please, if you can contribute even $3 or $10- any amount gets us closer to the $10,000 we need to get back on track.

Every donation really does count, believe me.

Thank you,
