Hey team—it's Brendan, Finance Director on Jon Tester's campaign. This is tough to say, but I need to rip off the bandaid.
I just looked at our fundraising numbers—and we're not anywhere near where we need to be for October. Ouch.
The last thing I want is to tell Jon we have to make massive budget cuts to keep the lights on.
This is bad news. Our campaign is being outspent by outside groups—and FiveThirtyEight says this race could decide the Senate majority.
So we have two options (well, three):
- Either we need more grassroots supporters to step up before midnight (especially first-time donors like you)
- Or we need folks to chip in slightly larger gifts than usual
- …or we fall short, let outside groups keep attacking Jon, and lose this race.
It's gonna be tough, but there's still time to catch up. Grassroots supporters like you have always stepped up when we need it the most. If we all do everything we can to help Jon in these final 10 days, I know we can break the tie in the polls and win this race.
We need 4,412 first-time grassroots supporters to chip in before midnight tonight—will you donate now?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Thanks,
Brendan
