Hey,

It’s Lis. And guess what? It's Phase 4.

Phase 1: Introduce Pete to the world. Get people to learn how to pronounce “Boot-Edge-Edge.” Done.

Phase 2: Quietly build out our team. Focus on fundraising. Post the biggest fundraising numbers of the second quarter -- even against big Washington names. Done.

Phase 3: Harness that energy and shock the political system with our grassroots organizing. Done.

Phase 4: It’s go time. It’s time to leave it all on the field. It’s time to win this for Pete. Can you contribute today to make that happen?

If you’re on Team Pete, we need you right now. Donate using this link:

A year ago, I was in DC advising the launch of Pete’s exploratory committee. It was just three of us in a room preparing for Pete to announce the longest of longshot presidential campaigns.

Back then, it was unthinkable that I’d be here, nine days before the Iowa Caucuses, on a team of more than 500 people, sending an email to millions of people telling them in full honesty that WE CAN WIN THE IOWA CAUCUSES. But to do that, we need your help RIGHT NOW.

My work leading up to the Caucuses is mostly done. Throughout this campaign, Pete has talked with 280 different media outlets. He has gone EVERYWHERE. People know how to pronounce that name... finally.

The bad news (or actually probably the good news) is this: You have to close the deal. You’re our best ambassadors and biggest supporters and this race is in your hands. We need your support and your action right now. We need you to flip it to Phase 4 and make a donation right now.

Phase 4 isn’t just about getting more people to know Pete. It’s about turnout and action. It’s about getting people to commit to caucus and vote for him. It’s about getting people to join you in making a donation because we are *THIS* close.

I want you to know how much it means to me that you’re a part of this. I’m relying on you to help bring this home. I’ve got your back but I need you to have mine. That’s it. Thanks.

Lis
