John,
This probably won't shock you, but my
least favorite part about running for Congress is fundraising. Regardless of how I feel about it, it's a critical piece of our winning strategy. If we're going to turn out Democrats and persuade swing voters, we’ll need to compete with Calvert's special interest and corporate PAC donors.
The good news is that nearly
3,500 people have contributed since our launch, and I couldn't be more thankful for your support. Whether you've given $5, $50, or even more -- every donation makes a huge difference for our people-powered, corporate PAC-free campaign.
The end of this week marks our first public reporting deadline with the FEC, and to kick off our fundraising push, I want to call some of our online donors to say thank you.
My team will randomly select a handful of people who contribute through this email for me to call. Can you chip in today? I'd love to give you a ring to say thanks!
Here's something you may not know: the *vast majority* of our contributions come in online and through emails like this one. With your help, our campaign is gaining incredible momentum, and I really need your support this week to post a big number on our first FEC report.
Help us reach our goal by donating whatever you can today. After you chip in, keep your ringer on -- I might be the one calling from an unknown number to say thanks.
All my best,
Will
