John – Senator Tina Smith here.

I've been in touch with Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan's campaign, and I just got word that they're still trailing their goal by more than $50,000 heading into Tuesday night's public fundraising deadline.

That's a problem. After Tuesday night, Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan's latest fundraising numbers will be made public for the first time since the start of the general election.

Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan are in one of the closest races in the entire country – their race was downgraded three straight times by election analysts, and that was before Republicans pledged to spend nearly seven figures in September alone to attack their record.

If they come up short of their goal, it'll look like they're losing steam just as early voting ballots reach voters across the state.

We’ve got to do everything that we can to support Tim and Peggy, John. Will you join me in rushing a donation that works for you to help them make up the difference?

Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan always lead with integrity and courage and take on incredibly difficult fights on behalf of all Minnesotans when we need them most.

As we work together to stop Republican Scott Jensen from taking us backward, we need Tim and Peggy fighting for us more than ever, which is why we need to do whatever it takes to make sure they hit this target by tomorrow night at midnight.

If you can, please join me and pitch in anything that works for you today to re-elect Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan this November and continue building a brighter future for our state for generations to come.
