We're less than 40 days from the Iowa Caucus -- which is going to be a huge test for our campaign. It's the first electoral contest of the primary, and we've got to make sure that we come out strong.
We're less than 40 days from the Iowa Caucus — which is going to be a huge test for our campaign. It's the first electoral contest of the primary, and we've got to make sure that we come out strong.
And whether or not we hit our end-of-quarter fundraising goal will directly impact how much we can invest directly into Iowa and other states in the final weeks before voting and caucusing starts. And right now we've been pacing behind our goal.
This is our most important fundraising deadline yet, for a couple of reasons:
Our public fundraising report released after this end-of-quarter fundraising deadline will be used as a measure of our movement's strength. Reporters, pundits, other campaigns, and caucus-goers will use these numbers to determine how much support our campaign has across the country.
We need enough resources to kick things into high gear and run the strongest campaign possible in the last weeks before the Iowa Caucuses. We need to connect with as many people as possible — though advertising, outreach, and organizing — and we rely on grassroots donations to make those investments.
The only way we'll hit this goal is if supporters like you make their first donation before this important deadline.
