John, we have two days to get 100 donors to fund our end-of-year outreach efforts to defeat Republicans and President Trump in 2020. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to chip in and make a donation – but first, I want to tell you why meeting this fundraising goal is so important. 

Now, I know it sounds a little bit strange – me, coming to you and asking for money right now. We won! It feels like we should be able to pack up and go home, at least for a little while.

But here’s the thing, John: President Trump has put New Mexico straight at the top of his blue-to-red list. We can’t afford to lose all the progress we’ve made and let the Trump agenda take hold in New Mexico.

Races aren’t won or lost on Election Day. They’re won or lost in the work we do right now, way before anyone heads to the polls. Now is not the time to let our fundraising go off the rails: We use that money to do outreach, spread our message and do the tough grassroots organizing to move New Mexico forward. 

I’m going to share every dollar we raise tonight with Democrats fighting to defend our progress across New Mexico. That’s why my finance team is refreshing ActBlue on their computers – watching those grassroots gifts come in in real time, before our big deadline – but I just checked in with them, and we’re still 21 donors short of where we need to be. 

John, you've stuck with me throughout this momentous year, and I am so grateful to count you as a member of my team. That’s why I’m turning to you again, with just hours to go until our deadline: Will you give $5 – anything you can spare – to elect Democrats in New Mexico and stop the Trump agenda across the state?

Really, really appreciate your help right now. Thank you.
