I’ll keep this short, John

  Hi John, By now, you’ve heard it all -- from my campaign manager, Carole, to my campaign staff. My data team has crunched the numbers, and my team at campaign headquarters has just reminded me how important our upcoming FEC end-of-quarter deadline at 11:59 PM tonight is. …
