John,

Our self-funding opponents are already running ads on TV and over the radio.

That’s why it’s critical that we have the resources to communicate directly with voters about Governor McKee’s accomplishments and vision for Rhode Island’s future. While our opponents have loaned hundreds of thousands of dollars to their own campaigns, Governor McKee is counting on grassroots support from folks like you.

Last quarter, the vast majority of the Governor’s campaign contributions came from Rhode Islanders – in fact, we had donors in each of Rhode Island’s 39 cities and towns. Our opponents can’t stay the same about their campaigns.

Here’s the deal: Our next big fundraising deadline is at the end of this month, so we only have 20 days left to hit our $30,000 online fundraising goal.

We’re asking supporters to chip in $20. That’s just $1 for each remaining day until our deadline, and it will make a big difference.. With one $20 contribution, our campaign can buy 100 pieces of campaign literature, 12 clip boards, or other supplies for our volunteers who will be ramping up our ground game in the coming weeks.
