John,
Earlier this week, we reached out about our goal to raise $83,500 by Friday’s Federal Election Commission end-of-quarter deadline.
We know this grassroots team has Cori's back, but if we're going to re-elect Cori, we can't lose our momentum. So, Brady and I took a look at the latest numbers this afternoon.
With hours to go until the deadline, we're currently tracking 13% behind.
Then, we looked at the contribution records of some of Cori’s supporters — here's what we found next to your name in our supporter records:

Supporter Name: John Supporter ID: 126776 September Donations: Not yet!* Suggested contribution: $5 |
*This data only reflects donations made online with this email address. If you've made a previous contribution via check or with a different email address, you may not see it — but know that Cori and our entire team are deeply grateful for your support.*
We are so thankful you're a part of this team. Your first $5 donation will go directly to mobilizing our get-out-the-vote initiatives across Missouri and help keep Cori in Congress.
This deadline matters a lot for our campaign. After September 30, we'll publicly report our numbers for everyone to see — for the final end-of-quarter deadline before Election Day.
Publicly, these numbers are monitored by pundits and the opposition as a proxy metric for the strength of and support for a candidate. If those numbers are lower than expected, the corporate-backed GOP super PACs may see this seat as vulnerable and dump money in our race as a last minute attempt to buy this seat.
Within the campaign, these numbers mean even more — they determine what we can do to help get out the vote for progressive candidates and initiatives up and down the ballot in Missouri. We want to be able to share our strength with candidates ready to make a meaningful difference. Your contribution will ensure that we’ve got the resources necessary to make an impact at the ballot box.
In solidarity,
Taeka Haraguchi
Finance, Team Cori
