Hey John, I know we’ve emailed you a ton lately, but grassroots support hasn’t been nearly as strong as we need over the past few weeks – and I’m honestly getting worried.

Failing to meet our fundraising goals so close to Election Day could devastate our plans in critical battleground states like Kansas, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Republicans are watching closely for any sign of weakness – and their megadonors are ready to cover the airwaves with millions in new attacks.

But despite the urgency with 32 days remaining, grassroots response to our emails remains low. Now, our Political Director just emailed me because he’s concerned that grassroots support is waning. Can you please help?

We’re counting on YOU to rush $3 and have it matched to help close the gap in critical battlegrounds. Every dollar you can spare will be MATCHED up to our emergency $250,000 goal to close the gap, protect Democratic strongholds, and defeat far-right Republicans – but only until midnight. Will you chip in before it’s too late?

Laura, DGA Digital Director

Hey Laura, just wanted to check in on our fundraising goal. I’ve been refreshing ActBlue and it still looks like we’re short. I’m really worried that people won't take full advantage of this 2x match before midnight and that we’ll effectively leave money on the table.

I know your team’s at capacity and doing their all, but could you send a quick reminder to our grassroots supporters about this match opportunity and the stakes of falling short this Election Day? It’s especially important to remind them that ANYTHING they can give will go twice as far to bridge the gap in states like Arizona, Georgia, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

This is a BIG moment we need to make sure we’re doing all we can to prevent extremists from gaining power at this critical moment.

Thanks!

Marshall

There are 36 governors’ races this year. We’re working to reelect 13 Democratic governors, win in battleground states, and flip red states blue. But we’re relying on grassroots supporters to provide us with the resources we need to win nationwide. To be one of the first people to receive critical updates about toss-up elections in battleground states like Georgia and Texas, just text GOVS to 30201 – or click here if you’re on your cell phone – to join our team!
