Friends,
As Jeff’s Campaign Manager, I want you to know that I’ve worked on many, many campaigns.
Believe me when I tell you, it is not normal for 500 people to show up to an event.
Not for the kickoff.
Not for the final rally.
Certainly not for a random Saturday four months before the election.
But when Jeff asked if anyone wanted to get a beer with him, that’s what happened.
It was a burst of positive energy for our campaign — and it was totally demoralizing to any of the outside groups that are looking to parachute in and boost our opponent (who has held a grand total of zero public events).
Look — Jeff is focused on connecting with people, learning from them, talking policy, trying to find ways to actually make a difference. That’s what he loves and he’s good at it.
But my job is to make sure we win. So we’re a little different that way, but that’s the way it has to be.
From my standpoint, you couldn’t have a clearer sign of momentum than the event we just had.
Now we have to speed things up. We’re building our field team over the next two weeks, and your support will go directly to helping us add that capacity. I hope you’re seeing what I’m seeing with this campaign, because we’re on a roll.
