Hey there,

I’ve been working with Pete for most of this decade. Here’s a photo of us from election night in 2011, a few moments before the race was called and Pete was elected mayor of our hometown:

We’re up against a big end-of-quarter deadline, and I’d be grateful if you can help me wrap up this decade successfully. We’re trying to reach two million donations before the end of the year and could use your help.

Can you make your first donation right now and help us meet our goal?

This past decade, we broke from the machine politics of the past and brought new energy and hope to our hometown that had been devastated by the closing of the Studebaker car company in 1963. The work is not done, but South Bend is becoming the vibrant city it knows it can be, filled with equal opportunity and innovation. Pete believed in South Bend and its people.

And now, Pete is running for president because America is running out of time. The crises we face have been years in the making -- from climate change to health care to gun violence. But for most of our lives, politicians in Washington have seemed more interested in fighting with each other than working to improve daily life for people.

Americans are so fed up with the dysfunction and division -- especially from this president -- that many have completely given up on the idea that government can do anything for them. We can’t wait any longer for Washington to get it right.

If you know we need a new approach to unifying this country, please chip in and help us reach our end-of-quarter goals right now.

2020 is the year we defeat Donald Trump. And when that happens, we'll need a president who is ready to pick up the pieces and move us forward to meet our biggest challenges.

This is our moment. Pete is the right candidate. Pete can win. But we have a lot of work to do to get him there.

Thank you,

Mike
