Sorry to reach out on a Sunday, John — but this can’t wait.

Because we’ve got less than 3 days to reach our $10,000 end-of-quarter goal, and we’re still $4,833 short of getting there.

This deadline is critical because once the books close in September, we’ll have to disclose how much we raised and from whom to the FEC. So we have to show we have the strength to take back this seat and send a clear message: This seat belongs to Mississippians, not the special interest groups my opponent has sold us out to.

If you understand the importance of this moment, will you join 200 supporters in chipping in $24.16 so we can hit our goal before Tuesday at midnight? Thank you in advance for your generous support.

In less than 72 hours, we’ll be required to report our fundraising numbers to the FEC, and the press, pundits, and even my opponent will use them to gauge whether this campaign has the momentum to win this seat.

If we fall short, they’ll write us off. But if we hit our goal, we’ll prove that this campaign is not only viable, but Mississippians are ready for a major change.

But right now, we’re still $4,833 short of our goal. But if just 200 supporters out of the thousands reading this email donated just $24.16 each, we’d have more than enough to power this campaign and give my opponent a run for her money.

So I’m counting on your support today: Can you pitch in $24.16 right now to help us close the gap and prove this grassroots campaign is a force to be reckoned with?

Thank you. Have a great weekend.
