I'll never forget this night

I'm not everyone's cup of tea

I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, friend. That’s a hard lesson you learn very early on as a Black woman in politics. I know I’m not going to win every single vote when I’m on the ballot – and that’s okay. So even if I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, I’ll represent all of my constitu…

Brutal honesty

FWD: Fundraising update (not good)

Hi there, this is Nick, the Finance Director on Team LBR. You don’t hear from me too much – but when you do, you know it’s for a good reason. After extending our mid-month deadline yesterday, we’re still pacing 23% behind our goal so we just called an all-hands-on-deck finance meeting to see how …

I know these emails can get pesky at times

  Team – we know a lot of fundraising emails sound over the top. That’s why we’re not telling you “we’re crushed” or “devastated” that we fell short of our mid-month fundraising goal. Instead, we’ll tell you the honest truth, which is that if we don’t make up for lost ground fast,…

Lisa’s fighting for us, Republicans are just plain fighting.

Open for a picture of me skydiving

Pardon the puns, team, but our fundraising has taken a massive nosedive. If we don’t make up for lost ground fast, Republicans are going to come parachuting in to prop up my opponent. This can’t fly so I’m counting on you to have my back. Our end-of-quarter deadline is tomorrow, an…
