We really don’t want to give Tina bad news

Fewer people are reading our emails…   We’ll be honest with you, John: We’re struggling to hit our end-of-quarter fundraising goal. In the past few weeks, fewer people are reading our messages, and unfortunately, we’ve seen a big downturn in grassroots contributions.  It’s not hard …

Update for [email protected] on our end-of-quarter fundraising:

It’s not looking great   John — We wanted to provide you with a quick update on our fundraising before Monday’s midnight deadline: We’re only 61% towards our $10,487 March fundraising goal.  That’s pacing behind where we need to be, and with time running out, the entire team is pu…

Here’s the truth:

Campaigns aren’t cheap, and it takes a lot of resources to communicate about the work we’re doing for Oregon.   Here’s the truth, John: I don’t like all the money in politics. That’s why I’ve championed campaign finance reform — we need to get big money out of politics.  But the re…
