Team,

This isn’t the news I wanted to share, but it’s important to me that you stay in the loop: we did not reach our quarterly fundraising goal.

I know this team gave it our all, and when we set ambitious goals we run the risk of coming up short — but we’ll have to really step up our game in the final 38 days before Election Day if we’re going to hold this seat and the House majority.

Can I count on you to chip in your first $10 right away to ensure we can run the final weeks of this crucial campaign at full capacity?

I’m up against an extremist opponent who, on top of self-funding with millions of dollars, has the full support of the GOP war chest behind her. They’re outspending us at every turn, and I need the resources to defend myself.

Anything you can give today will make a real difference in these critical final weeks of the campaign. Can I count on your support today?
