John,

We're just hours away from our mid-month fundraising deadline. We set an ambitious online goal to ensure our fundraising stays on track for the month, and I wanted to explain why it's important we don't come up short.

Control of the House majority could come down to what happens in PA-08, and it's going to be a close race. A new poll released by the NRCC shows Matt trailing his Republican opponent, Jim Bognet, by just one point.

In a race as close as ours, and with so many Northeastern Pennsylvanians to reach with Matt's message, every dollar counts. That's why we need your help to hit our mid-month fundraising goal to ensure we keep our fundraising on track.

Will you chip in before midnight to help us hit our mid-month goal so Matt can win this "toss up" race?

The results of this new poll in PA-08 show that our race is more competitive than ever. It's no wonder why Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight listed PA-08 as the most competitive House race in the country.

National Republicans are already spending almost $4 million in ads attacking Matt, and we know it's only a matter of time before even more dark money and attacks flood our district.

Republicans will do and spend whatever it takes to flip this seat red and retake the House majority. Matt's counting on the support of this grassroots team to help him prepare for whatever comes his way, so he can defend his seat and the Democratic House majority.

Rush a donation before our mid-month fundraising deadline to help us reach our goal to ensure Matt has the resources to take on Jim Bognet and his national Republican allies.

Thank you,

Blakely
