Hey there,
We just wanted to make sure you saw Jon’s note from Friday! We know it probably came in right as you were logging off for the weekend, but it’s an important message, and it’s important you have a chance to read it.
Jon got brutally honest about how our fundraising has taken a dip in the past few weeks, and why it’s so hard to get folks to open emails right now.
We’re reaching about 21% fewer folks than usual, and as a result, we aren’t raising what we need to fund our work to get as many voters to the polls as possible. Take a moment to read Jon’s note, and then consider rushing a donation of any amount to help us protect and defend our Senate majority tomorrow:
Thanks,
Team Tester

I’m going to be brutally honest with you, folks: Our email program has been struggling.
In the past two weeks or so, just about half as many people as usual are opening our emails, let alone donating.
And I can see why! My inbox is probably just as crowded as yours. Politicians all over the country are working hard to collect the resources needed to win competitive races. And while Republicans can go running to shady special interests or mega-donors with deep pockets, we rely on grassroots teams like this one to power our work.
I know how frustrating it can be to see those emails pile up, but trust me: we wouldn’t be bothering you if it weren’t vitally important for us all. Results are expected to be very close in races across the country, and every little bit helps.
So I’m hoping this email didn’t get lost in the tons of other emails in your inbox — and I’m hoping you’ll bear with me while I ask once again.
(By the way, asking for money is my least favorite part of the job — just ask my team! So you should know I wouldn’t be doing it if it weren’t critical at this moment.)
Team, can you come through for me once again and chip in any amount right now so we can get-out-the-vote this weekend and win on Tuesday?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Thanks so much, folks. I can’t express how grateful I am to have you on the team.
— Jon
