Team,

I want to say thank you for all you've done to help me keep this movement strong. And thanks to a huge wave of support, our team is so close to reaching our FEC end-of-quarter fundraising goal.

There are some important reasons why I'm counting on your support so much right now.

Friday's deadline is a big one. It's the first time our fundraising numbers will go public this year.

Not only that — history shows us there is no such thing as off-years. That means we've got to do all we can to keep up our momentum right now — especially if we're going to take back our majority in the House and defend vulnerable Democrats like Dr. Kim Schrier and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

I'll be honest and say that the sky won't fall if we don't reach this goal, but every fundraising goal we set does play an important role in the work we do in the months ahead.

Now, I'm counting on this grassroots team to help us finish this quarter off strong so we can hit the ground running in April. Will you chip in $5, or whatever you can, before midnight on Friday?
