The first day to request an absentee ballot is TODAY.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
That means people will be voting as early as next week. And I have to be honest – we currently are falling short to implement a robust outreach effort in the final 50 days.

We are already spending down to zero every single day to connect with voters. I’ve crunched the numbers and to execute this winning strategy we have to raise $48,232 more by Thursday at midnight.                                                                                                                                
I can assure you your contribution will be put to good use immediately. Can I count on you to give $25 today, before our very first public end of quarter FEC filing? [[link removed]]

Clay is running for Congress in the North Carolina 4th congressional district. He was born, raised, and is currently raising his son in the Triangle. He's running to use his voice to speak up and stop the loudest voices on the far ends of the political spectrum from sucking up all the oxygen in our political discourse.
