Friend, this morning I woke up to some troubling news from John’s finance team: as of 8 AM, we are still $6,789 short of our fundraising goal… and the last public filing deadline of this primary election is tonight at 11:59 PM.

Can you pitch in right now to help us catch up and reach our goal in time?

I spoke with the finance team about why this deadline was so important, and I wanted to share with you what they told me:

1. This is the last and most important filing deadline that will be completely public for every campaign in this race, so everyone — from reporters to our opponents — will know how much financial support we have
2. Every dollar is needed to run this campaign — whether it’s for placing TV ads, getting campaign supplies, transportation, organizing volunteers, or anything else election-related — every bit makes a difference in finishing this election strong

There you have it, friend — the deadline is public and campaigns cost a whole lot to run!

Since we still need to bring in more funds before the clock runs out tonight, can you take a moment to pitch in right now to help?

I am incredibly proud of my husband and the campaign he is running (polls have him in the top three in this race with 20% of likely voters still undecided!), and I want to make sure this campaign has the resources to reach this goal and show up strong for this deadline. Can you contribute $30 right now to get us across the finish line?

Thank you for your support,

Melissa Steel King
