Cracks in our armor

Hey John, can you chip in any amount — even $1 would do! — before tonight’s midnight deadline: our public FEC end-of-quarter deadline and a big test for our team? Here’s why your support is so important: After the deadline, we will report our fundraising numbers for the public to …

Will you chip in?

John, our end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline is rapidly approaching. With less than 36 hours to go before the deadline expires, will you chip in $4 or more to help us hit our end-of-month target? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation wil…

No fear

We're reaching out because our end-of-quarter deadline is this Sunday, and we need your support. Here's why this matters: This cycle has thrown its share of challenges our way. From advocating for reproductive justice and Black maternal health to ensuring safe communities free fro…

This takes the 🍰cake🎂

John, You know, we've heard a lot of off-the-wall and idiotic rhetoric spew from Trump over the years, but the “Black jobs” he so ‘intelligently’ spoke about at last night's presidential debate takes the 🍰cake🎂. We're all curious to know what exactly constitutes a “Black job”. We …

$100k

Lauren’s opponent and far-right ideologue, James Marter, has raised $100,000 this cycle in his bid to unseat her. His war chest is growing, and extreme MAGA Republicans are trying to hold on to their House majority with everything they’ve got. But we won't stand idly by in the fac…

Before you go

Hey John, We are facing a critical deadline for Lauren and our campaign. In just a few days, we will submit our quarterly finance report to the Federal Election Commission, detailing how much we’ve raised. Once this report becomes public, House Republicans and dark money interests…

Re: $4

In case our earlier message got lost in your inbox, we’re bumping it up for you to give you a chance to add your $4 along with the rest of Team Underwood. Your $4 is more important than you may realize — that’s why we’re asking once more, John. Can you chip in just $4 to support L…

Richard, Theresa, and you

John, we’re asking for just $4 today. We’re asking $4 because House Democrats need to win the majority and prevent Republicans from passing a nationwide abortion ban. We’re asking for $4 because Lauren needs to win a fourth term to help break the House Republicans' hold on Congres…

John, I need you to know three critical updates. Then, I’m going to ask you to split a $10 gift between the DCCC and Lauren Underwood before our End-of-Quarter deadline. Here’s why: 1. Extreme MAGA Republicans have raised an unprecedented $141 MILLION to defeat us. 2. Democrats o…

We didn’t want to send this email today. In fact, we weren’t planning to press send if we reached our mid-month goal last night. While we didn’t quite get there, we got pretty close. And if we raise just $3,893 today, it’ll put our fundraising right back on track. So, if you can s…
