John, I needed to talk to you about how critical early, dependable support is for a battleground campaign like this.

The truth is, we have an enormous challenge ahead of us. Not only do we need to take our own message to every corner of Pennsylvania. We also need to push back against the far-right’s endless wave of attacks at the very same time.

Here’s the thing: Accomplishing both of those goals is a whole lot easier with a strong, dedicated team on our side.

To put it another way: Chipping in consistently every month is how you can make the greatest impact in the race. After all, $5 contributed monthly has a far greater impact in this election than the same amount given in October.

That’s because we can count on that support from now until Election Day — and plan far into the future to run ads, hire staff, and reach voters face-to-face.

Listen, I know making a monthly donation is going above and beyond. But having that steady, consistent flow of support helps our campaign more than you could ever imagine. Now that you know: Can you start a monthly recurring donation today — even if it’s just a few dollars?

I know I’ve said this before, but believe me: Early money is the difference between a campaign that rises to the challenge… or one that never gets off the ground. Here’s what I mean:

• Early, consistent donations can cement our base of support before the far-right attacks truly begin to ramp up.


• Those donations help us get on the airwaves earlier, allowing us to reach undecided voters just as they’re beginning to tune in to the race.


• Monthly recurring donations dramatically reduce the amount of unknowns for our campaign in the final weeks of the election — giving our Finance Team a baseline of support we know we can lean on.

With all that said, I’m humbly asking: If you’re in the position to do so, can you chip in a monthly donation right now to help maximize our odds of winning Pennsylvania?

Thank you for going above and beyond.
