Everyone will be watching to see what numbers we post at the end of the month.
John,
In order to defend Cori's seat against four Democratic challengers in our August primary election, we need the resources to fully fund a winning campaign. Our final Federal Elections Commission end-of-quarter deadline before Election Day is quickly coming up on June 30, and right now we're tracking behind our June fundraising projections.
Our finance team just set a goal to raise $15,000 before tonight's midnight mid-month deadline in order to pick up the pace and show we have the power to win. Keeping Cori in Congress depends on the support we receive from folks like you over the next seven weeks, so we have to ask:
Will you donate $5 *right now* to help hit our $15,000 goal and be a part of the movement that will re-elect Cori to Congress?
John, everyone — including our four opponents — will be watching to see what numbers we post at the end of the month. Reporters have already started reaching out to ask if we will outraise our challengers, and pundits will be looking closely at our finances to estimate the strength of our campaign.
It would be easy to dismiss our primary challengers, but that would be a serious mistake. Attacks against Cori and our progressive movement have already started, and we can expect super PACs to flood Missouri's 1st district with misinformation and attack ads before Election Day.
We need the resources to fight back, build our campaign, and reach voters across the district. What we're able to raise before tonight's midnight deadline will have a direct impact on the results of Election Day, so we're counting on grassroots supporters to help our people-powered movement hit $15,000 in time.
Please, help us re-elect Cori with your first donation today. Every dollar will go directly to keeping a leader for racial, economic, and environmental justice in Congress.
Chip in $5
Thank you,
Team Cori
