John, it's Dick.

This is a longer note from me explaining the upcoming FEC deadline. If you already know how crucial it is that we raise every dollar possible – all I ask before you click away is that you chip in $10 to help us protect the Senate. [secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_dd_fr_q12024?&amount=10]

Have you heard of the FEC's quarterly deadline? It's when campaigns like ours are required by law to submit our fundraising reports to the federal government. From there, every campaign's report for that quarter is made publicly available.

That means everything we've raised so far in 2024 will be rummaged through by GOP leaders who are looking for any sign of weakness from Senate Democrats as we fight to hold our majority.

So, that's why I'm launching an emergency fundraising goal of $25,000 before March is up.

Reaching our goal will go miles in our fight to stop MAGA politicians from retaking the Senate and prevent Donald Trump's cronies from doing his bidding for him.

And, this isn't talked about enough, but Democrats do have the chance to pick up seats this year. But we have to work for it.

I can't stress enough how important it is that we put up a strong showing in the first quarter of this election year. So I'm asking: Will you chip in $10 – or any amount, really – to help us show the GOP that we won’t stop fighting to protect our razor-thin Senate majority?
