You deserve an honest explanation

This is why posting a strong number is so important. And even better if we can do it with contributions from A LOT of people.

After this FEC deadline, our fundraising numbers go public. The gun lobby, corporate super PACs, and Republicans will rush to take a look and start assessing whether it's worth taking us on or not. If we fail to show that we’re taking this race seriously, they could put a target on me and try to force Democrats to spend tens of millions of dollars defending this seat and the Senate majority. So that’s why posting a strong number is so important. And even better if we can do it with contributions from A LOT of people. That helps me prove that this isn’t another typical DC campaign loaded up with PAC and corporate money (FYI I don’t take PAC money). Your donation sends a message loud and clear that we have an army of people who have my back in this fight. Make sense? This is why we cannot afford to falter or miss our goal for this official deadline. So here’s where I ask: [Can you make a contribution to help us close this gap today? Any amount will work.
