I know I’ve been emailing you a lot, so I’ll be quick:
Don Bacon is terrified I’m going to unseat him, John.
He’s resorting to running a campaign of lies against me -- funded to the tune of $2.2 million from his special-interest friends.
So John, I just launched another TV ad to make his smears BACKFIRE.
But I’ll be honest with you, John. Keeping ads on the air in a race this close is incredibly expensive -- and Bacon’s Republican allies have me massively outraised. If I fail to fund our TV ads in these last remaining weeks before the election, I risk losing my race -- and control of the House for years to come. Falling short isn’t an option when the polls are this tight. I need 112 more gifts by midnight to keep my ad on the air, so please, can you chip in $15? >>
John, my campaign has been working nonstop in these final weeks before the election:
-- I launched my first two TV ads
-- My field staff and volunteers are knocking on voters’ doors in every corner of my district
-- I’m sending Spanish-language mail and running an inclusive campaign to represent all Nebraskans
-- And I’m ahead of Bacon in nearly every poll
I can’t thank you enough for standing by me, John.
It’s because of supporters like you that I’m on the cusp of defeating Bacon for good.
So I hope you’ll understand why I need to ask you again in the final stretch: Will you pitch in $15 before midnight and flip this seat for Nebraskans? If I win, it’ll ONLY be because grassroots supporters stepped up to fund my campaign when I needed it most. Please, John -- every dollar helps. >>
Thank you so much -- we can do this!
Tony
