| Fellow Conservative, The purpose of this email to inform you of the overall fundraising goal that we’ve set for the month of June. I have to admit to you, I’m a bit nervous we’re going to fail to reach our goals and I’m hoping you can help. You see, we only have 17 days left until the end of the second fundraising quarter, which means we only have 17 days to hit our goal of raising $200,000 for the quarter. Reaching this fundraising milestone will allow me to remain in the National Republican Party’s “Young Gun” program for promising candidates. The most recent time that I checked the numbers (this morning) we are short $10,562. We’ve done the math and if everyone who has donated since I launched my campaign last makes an additional donation of $7, we would hit our goal easily.
We’re falling behind my Democrat opponent in overall donations Why It’s Important: Democrats are showcasing their fundraising strength a full 5 months before the midterm election, and they’re funneling money to my opponent – more than $100,000 already in small dollar contributions My Ask: Our total donations are down by more than 50% this quarter vs this time last year. We need your help today if we’re going to reach our fundraising goals by the time the quarter ends on June 30th Last quarter my Democrat opponent raised nearly as much as we did – and that’s saying something since she just became the Dem nominee last month. That has my team on edge. My opponent knows what my team is capable of; she knows my team and I are focused and adept fundraisers, and she’s preparing early for what’s expected to be among the closest races in the nation this fall. I’m calling on you for help today because our success is directly correlated with how much money we are able to raise. We need to make sure that we do our part to add to the overall Republican donor total in Q2 (June 30th deadline). In May, more than 4,000 conservatives made a donation to my campaign. It’s our goal to double that before the end of the month. I know we have 17 days left until the end of the quarter but with the lofty goal of finding 8,000 donors this month, we simply cannot pause our efforts for a single day. Thank you for your support and consideration. Alek Skarlatos Republican for Congress |
