Hi John – I know I’m not the only one in your inbox talking about “EOQ” and an “FEC deadline” right now.
“EOQ” is an abbreviation for “end of quarter,” the final days ahead of the close of the financial quarter. At the conclusion of each quarter, campaigns have to report their fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Then, the numbers are released publicly and reporters, pundits, opponents, supporters -- anyone! -- comb through them looking for insight on a campaign’s successes and failures.
Unfortunately, a lot of people jump to conclusions about these numbers. A lower-than-expected total might lead to headlines predicting doom and gloom on a campaign’s chances – so, many campaigns take this opportunity to grow their fundraising base ahead of the public reporting deadline.
I want to be honest with you, John. This is a big deadline for us because Matt’s GOP opponents will be reading these reports closer than anyone else.
They want to know if he is vulnerable in 2020 – so we cannot let up here! If you are ready to stand with Matt against any attempt to flip this seat, make a donation to show everyone that we are not going anywhere!

Thanks for your support,
