Hi John,
It's Nick, Beto’s Campaign Manager. I'm writing to you today to ask if there is anything I could say right now to earn your first donation to our people-powered campaign to defeat Greg Abbott in November.
What if I told you that both Beto and Abbott have launched their first TV ads of the general election — and having the resources to keep ads on the airwaves will come down to hitting our $1.2 million end-of-month fundraising goal before tomorrow's deadline?
What if I said that this is now just a 5-point race, but to win we need to show undecided voters in Texas that we have the resources to defeat Abbott and his corporate mega-donors?
What about if you knew that Abbott has $45 million in the bank and has pledged to spend $100 million attacking Beto — and that competitive races like this one often come down to fundraising?
What do you say, John? I told Beto I'd give him a fundraising update after sending this email, so I hope I can count on our supporters to step up.
From Beto, Amy, and our entire team — thank you.
Nick Rathod
Campaign Manager, Beto for Texas
