Bad news, friend:

I just got out of a meeting with my finance team, and they told me that we're pacing behind where we need to be to hit our goal for our first FEC end-of-quarter fundraising deadline of the year. Now, we need to raise at least $10,000 by midn‌ight ton‌ight to get us back on track.

But there's even worse news:

My fundraising numbers will be going PUBLIC at the end of the month – and if the GOP and their dark money counterparts see that progressive Democrats like me have already lost momentum, they will attempt to BURY us.

Folks – make no mistake, with the GOP already in control of the House of Representatives and pushing radical legislation and Senate Democrats facing a brutal election map in 2024 – whether or not we can keep Senate control is all going to come down to the amount that we invest in this race EARLY. So I have to ask:

Will you rush a donation of $5 or more before my end-of-quarter deadline in three days to help fuel my fight for progress?

Thank you as always,

Ben Ray Luján
