Re: projections

  Hello, As you know, we missed our April fundraising goal last week. So, I’m restructuring our paid media plan this weekend. I really don’t want to have to make cuts to our budget just as Mitch McConnell’s shady super PAC books millions in ads targeting us. Colorado is a must-win sta…

  Folks, I’ll be quick. Our important April fundraising deadline is a few hours away, and my team just let me know we’re still a bit short of reaching our goal. That’s a big deal. With right-wing groups dumping millions of dollars into the race to try to tear down my character, we nee…

No one could have predicted we’d end up running a campaign like this one
