Hey Team,
Sidney here again — Julie's Finance Director! If I'm writing to you, it usually means you're about to get an update on where our fundraising stands.
So here's the good news: We're pacing well ahead of what we raised in July with less than three days to go until the end of the month! With the news that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is officially targeting our campaign against Roger Williams, we're seeing a surge in support from folks fired up about flipping this seat.
But here's the bad news: Our fundraising goal for this month is ambitious. $250,000 is an awful lot of money when you don't take a dime from any PACs, so we rely entirely on grassroots donations from emails like this one.
Your contribution of $5 or more today would set us up to reach our goal. Can you make a contribution right now to get us there?
Our opponent Roger Williams is independently wealthy and has corporate donors on speed dial. But we're not worried about competing with his big money, because we have the support of individuals like you who are ready for real representation not just for our district, but the entire country.
Our movement is about fighting for a living wage, strong unions, health care for all, debt-free college, a pathway to citizenship, clean energy, racial justice, internet access, and ending the influence of big money on our democracy.
We know that these issues aren't controversial to the majority of Americans. Now, we just need to elect leaders like Julie to Congress to achieve big wins for our communities.
Any amount you can contribute, even $5, will help us keep up with campaign overhead and invest in essential resources to register voters ahead of the start of early voting in Texas.
Thank you for joining us in this fight,
Sidney Hollingsworth
Finance Director
Julie Oliver for Congress
