Thank you for everything.

John, While Tuesday didn’t bring us the result we’d hoped for, I truly cannot thank you enough for getting us this far. Your support helped build a movement prioritizing experience, patriotism, and pragmatism - one that I know will make a difference going forward to November. I want to exte…

One final request before this primary is over

Hello John, I can’t begin to count up the number of times, over the course of our campaign, that I’ve asked you to chip in to help us win. And I hate asking - but our democracy is at risk. Now, I have to ask one final time before this primary is over. Can you donate $25 (or any amount that’…

Thank you, John!

John, I can’t quite believe August is here. Our Primary Election is in EIGHT days (on August 9th)! We were able to reach our fundraising goal in July because of support from people like you! THANK YOU! Now, we have one last budget goal - $14,337- to raise before August 9th. So, I need to ask, …

Thank you, John.

John, We’re closing in on the final hours ahead of my LAST end-of-month deadline before the primary, and I just wanted to say: Thank you! I had one final huddle with my campaign manager, Kayla, for the day. She told me we’re just $1,300 short of our ambitious goal. I know our campaign can win on …

Hi John, As Deb’s Campaign Manager, I spend a ton of my time thinking about our budget. With just hours left until we hit our July fundraising deadline at midnight (our final end-of-month goal before the primary!), I thought I’d take a minute to let you know why the sooner you make your first con…

Our FINAL end-of-month deadline before our primary!

John, tomorrow at midnight, we hit our MOST critical fundraising deadline of our campaign so far. This is our final end-of-month deadline before the primary, so if we fall behind now, we may not have enough time to make up the shortfall. We only have around 36 hours to hit our $40,000 goal, and w…

Insurrectionist or National Security leader?

Hello John, You already know that ours is one of the most competitive House races in the country. You also need to know that National Republicans are lining up to bankroll our opponent in a bid to flip WI-03 red: Derrick Van Orden brought in more than $2.6 million last year alone. We’re taking the…

Voter suppression is a danger to our democracy.
