John,
I’m sure you’ve started to get a lot of texts, emails, and maybe even calls from people running for office across the nation talking about a critical “end-of-quarter” fundraising report. (If you already know what I’m talking about and want to get right to business, click here to chip in!)
So what is it, and why is it so important?
Every quarter, candidates running for office have to make public how much money they’ve raised and who they’ve raised it from. It’s an FEC rule, and it exists for a good reason: we all deserve to know who is donating to our elected officials!
As a first time candidate, I've also learned that there is a second reason these reports are so important — pundits, voters, and even our opponents will be watching to see the strength of our campaign.
It’s actually a lot like when a business is pitching to investors. People want to see a strong foundation, they want to see resources, and they want to see a path for growth.
I know what our path looks like: this seat was recently held by Democrats. We CAN win here and take back Congress, but only if we have the resources to compete against Congresswoman Salazar’s special interest war chest.
So with the next big EOQ deadline in just a few days, can you chip in to show everyone watching that we have the movement and resources it will take to flip this seat back to blue?
