Hi John,

I know our team has leaned heavily on the fundraising asks this month, but I promise you it’s with good reason.

With an increasingly crowded Republican primary and Washington-based special interest groups signaling their intent to spend large sums of money against our campaign -- our efforts are becoming more and more important.

My team is re-examining our strategy, our goals and our benchmarks on a near weekly basis. If we don’t prepare for every worst case scenario now -- we know we’ll be paying for it on Election Day.

As we get ready for the holidays -- I really want to give my hardworking team some good news in the form of a boost in our grassroots fundraising numbers. So, I’m secretly reaching out to you directly to ask for help!

Can you donate to help us reach our November goal so my staff will be able to rest easy this holiday week? They’ve been working so hard, and I really want them to enjoy Thanksgiving without this deadline looming over them.

Here’s a link to donate: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/allredq42019

Thank you,
Colin
