John,

If we are going to reach our end-of-month deadline before midnight, we need your help.

In a moment, I’ll tell you why this end-of-month fundraising deadline is so important. But first, could you pitch in $5 right now?

John, this is our final end-of-month fundraising deadline before the August 23rd primary election, so we cannot afford to let up now.

Control of the House hangs in the balance. Our race is rated a TOSS-UP by The Cook Political Report, meaning it is equally likely this seat could be won by a Democrat or a Republican.

John, I know I’m the candidate who can win this critical battleground seat in the fall, but first, we need to win this nomination — we can’t take anything for granted. And the money we raise (or don’t raise) before tonight’s deadline will have a big impact on our budget.

That’s why I am asking, John. Will you donate $5 today to help us reach our final end-of-month fundraising goal before Election Day?

I’ve never accepted a dime of corporate PAC money — and I never will.

It may make fundraising more difficult, but it’s the right thing to do.

And, John, your $5 is all the more important because of our no corporate PAC money pledge. So please, if it’s within your budget, could you make your first $5 contribution before midnight tonight?

With gratitude & high hopes,

Josh Riley
