Hey team, in case you haven’t seen it yet, we just wanted to make sure you didn’t miss Mikie’s note.

We have a major public matching deadline at noon tomorrow — which means our fundraising numbers are about to go public. With polling showing only the tiniest advantage for Mikie in this race, it’s really important that we catch up to our goal before tomorrow. And right now, we’re still a bit short.

If you can, please pitch in a dollar (or two!) before our deadline at 12PM tomorrow. Anything you pitch in may be matched 2:1 with public funds, so anything at all helps a ton.

Thanks, and have a great rest of your night,

Team Mikie

Team — I’ll get right to the point.

In 24 hours, we will apply for matching funds, and our fundraising since the start of the general election will be made public. Right-wing super PACs here in New Jersey and down in Washington will be poring over our submission looking for any sign of weakness.

In a race this close we can’t give them any — which means it’s critical that we catch up to our fundraising goal. Can I count on you to pitch in just $5 to help us get there? Anything you pitch in may be matched 2-to-1 right now with public funds, so your donation will have triple its usual impact.

I know this is not a particularly fun email to receive, friend. I’m not exactly thrilled to be sending it to you either. But here’s why I had to reach out:

With Jack Ciattarelli’s super PAC attacking me every day and polling showing a margin-of-error race, we really can’t afford to miss deadlines like this.

This is our chance to show Ciattarelli and national Republicans that there is a massive grassroots coalition ready to hold them accountable at the ballot box this fall for their attacks on working families. If you’re all in on that mission, then please rush a donation before our deadline →

Thank you,

Mikie Sherrill
