john —

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 tonight's public fundraising deadline.

That's a problem. After tonight, 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 we can to support Tim and Peggy, john. Will you split a contribution between Tim and Peggy’s campaign and mine ahead of tonight’s midnight deadline to help them make up the difference?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between Tina Smith and Tim Walz:

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 midnight.

If you can, please split a contribution 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.
