John,

My least favorite part about campaigning for Congress is fundraising.

Shocker, I know…

Regardless of how I feel about it, the reality is that ever since the Citizens United decision, elections have become more expensive, and candidate fundraising has become much more vital.

Midnight tonight marks an important fundraising deadline, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that how we do will impact how strong of a campaign we can run. The great news is that we've seen a ton of contributions coming in. Yours would go a long way in helping us meet the mark!

Believe it or not, a significant chunk of our donations are generated by emails like this one. We don't have billionaires or big special interests backing us the way others in this race might. Frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way. The way I see it, each individual donation sends a message that our community is ready for home-grown, progressive change in Washington.

That to me, is so much more powerful, and it's why I value your support. I’d appreciate anything you can give to help us meet this goal before August comes to a close.

Thanks,
