Good morning!

I don’t know about you, but I do some of my best, most productive work early in the morning before the kids wake up and Moose starts begging to go outside.

So this morning, I decided to check in on our campaign’s fundraising numbers to see where we stand before our final End-of-Month deadline on Monday.

And I don’t mean to start your day with bad news — but our October fundraising numbers are behind where they need to be.

So, before you go on with the rest of your day and forget this email, will you chip in $25 or whatever you can to help get us back on track before Monday?

Look, our campaign is finishing this race strong. We outraised Mike Lee by more than $1 million last quarter, and we're leading in the polls.

But over the past few days, our fundraising has really slowed. So now we MUST hit our $250,000 End-of-Month goal to keep pace with Mike Lee and the special interest groups backing his campaign.

I know it’s early, but I wouldn’t be asking if this weren’t important. Will you chip in $25 or more to support our independent campaign and help us hit our $250,000 End-of-Month goal before Monday?

Hope you have a good weekend!
