John —

Sorry to bother you over the holiday weekend, but I wouldn't reach out if it wasn't important. I promise to make this quick:

My team is telling me we're behind on our fundraising. Like, way behind — but it’s not difficult to see why. Things are tough right now.

Prices are still too high. Republicans are coming for our health care and food assistance to deliver a massive tax break to billionaires. People are being kidnapped off our streets. That’s why I wish I didn’t have to ask for money in emails like these. Unfortunately, it’s a necessary part of the job.

I know you probably get a ton of emails about campaign fundraising goals, but these goals aren't arbitrary. 

We set these goals to help us organize, fight back, support progressive candidates, and more. And that's never been more important as billionaires consolidate more power in our elections and Donald Trump attacks the Constitution and due process.

Anything you can chip in today will help me fight against this administration, defend working families, and continue to listen and show up for Vermonters.

So here’s the part where I ask: Can you make a donation of any amount today? If you can't, that's okay too, I'm grateful that you're on my team and staying engaged.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I hope you enjoy some well-deserved rest with friends and family over the long weekend. Thanks for everything — now log off!
