Team,
You’ve heard us (and every other campaign) talk about the importance of “end-of-quarter” quite a bit.
With our final “end-of-quarter” deadline coming up on September 30th, here’s a refresher: at the end of each fiscal quarter, federal candidates are required to publicly report how much money they’ve raised, as well as how much they have in the bank. These numbers essentially provide a glimpse into how well a particular campaign is performing, and there is always a last minute push for contributions in the period leading up to the deadline.
It’s in this last minute push that campaigns tend to pull out all the stops when it comes to raising money. Some tactics are more effective than others; some try to scare the heck out of you; and some can be downright manipulative.
Trust us, we don’t like it either – but fundraising around a deadline does actually tend to be pretty effective. Unfortunately, creating a sense of urgency and continuing to up the stakes does actually get more folks to contribute. It’s gotten to the point that some campaigns will make up fake deadlines, fake consequences, and emergency-like energy in order to continue to drive that sense of urgency.
But, that has never been Elissa’s style. Which is why rather than giving you a completely made-up emergency or trying to convince you that the sky is falling, we just lay our cards out on the table, like we’re doing now. We simply give you the full context as to why these (actual) deadlines are important, and try to give you an in-depth look at Elissa’s race in the process. We also try to limit any emails mentioning a deadline to the two weeks leading up to the end of a fiscal quarter – which, you guessed it, we happen to be in right now.
September 30th is the last big deadline before Election Day, and as such it’s one of our last real chances to show what a formidable opponent Team Slotkin is. Friends and competitors alike watch these numbers and make critical decisions for the final 5 weeks of the campaign. If you’d like to help us head into the weeks leading up to Election Day strong, consider chipping in below.
