Happy holidays, John!
It’s a Saturday, and while a lot of people are still on break, we’ve got a governor’s race to win!
At the risk of being labeled the “bad news guy,” our fundraising took a larger-than-expected dip over the last week and… well, it’ll be faster just to show you:

I’m meeting with Rob on Monday to discuss our fundraising strategy and give him an update on where we stand as we near Wednesday’s end-of-year filing deadline.
Needless to say, I’m hoping to deliver some good news.
So I did what any good numbers guy would do and figured out a plan:
If 350 supporters all chipped in $25 or $50 to this email, we’d be able to pull out of this fundraising nosedive and get back on track toward hitting our $250,000 goal before Wednesday’s midnight deadline!
So what do you say, John: Can Rob count on your support today? If so, please chip in $25, $50, or whatever you can ASAP!
If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.
Your support means the world to Rob and the rest of us here at Sand HQ, so thank you!
