Hiiii John,

I'm coming to you today to ask if you'll please split a donation between my campaign to flip PA’s U.S Senate seat + Democracy Defense Fund before the FEC deadline tonight at 11:59 p.m. ET.

That said, I think we owe you an explanation. Some context, if you will.

Every quarter, campaigns like ours are legally required to report out all our latest fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission. Basically, it’s a public test of the grassroots strength of our campaign.

So, as you might expect, reporters will be scouring these numbers — as will Dr. Oz and everybody on his side. Especially because this is our *last* quarterly deadline before Election Day.

TL: DR; putting up a huge number tonight is a really, really big deal. So (drumroll please…) we’re setting a goal of $10 million dollars!!!

We've got a helluva ways to go to get there, so I am humbly asking you to please split a donation between my campaign + Democracy Defense Fund before tonight's deadline to help reach our major end-of-quarter goal.

Look, it's not lost on me that you get a lot of requests from me + my team.

I know they can sometimes start to pile up.

But the reality is that, if we want to win the #1 Most Likely to Flip Senate seat of 2022 on grassroots power alone, then we MUST raise as much money as possible before our *last* FEC deadline happening tonight.

The only way we can win is with lots of online donations — big or small — from people like you. So I've gotta ask: Will you donate split a donation of any amount between my campaign + Democracy Defense Fund ahead of tonight's FEC deadline? It'd really make all the difference as we push ahead toward November.

Thank you for everything. I'll reach back out soon.

John
