There’s no easy way to say this, John.

We’re coming up fast to the end of January, but we are trailing behind on our fundraising goals. Unless something changes soon, we are not projecting to hit our goals.

We cannot afford to begin 2026 digging our way out of a hole.

So I am humbly asking you: If you are in a position to contribute to help us get back on track and win this race, please make a donation today. Anything you can give makes a major difference.

Look, every single campaign is made up around a series of fundraising deadlines. What sets us apart from Cindy Hyde-Smith is that the bulk of our donations don’t come from billionaires and lobbyists – it comes from grassroots activists.

A real chunk of our funding comes from emails like this, alongside text messages and other online contributions. So please understand: You are a fundamental part of our plan to flip this U.S. Senate seat.

We set high goals for this month, and set spending commitments based on those projections.

Now, the way I see it, we have two options:

1. Either we start to see a turnaround on these goals TONIGHT
2. Or we have to start looking at painful budget cuts

That means less money spent on voter outreach, on yard signs, and everything else that a competitive campaign needs to win.

In a race like this one, those budget cuts could be disastrous.

So I’m really hoping you’re able to help us out. Please.

If you can afford to chip in $25 or even $7, please donate now. Your donation will go directly toward building the most competitive campaign possible.

Thank you,
Scott Colom
