[Please chip in what you can before our midnight deadline.]( [RUSH $3 (and have it 3X-MATCHED)]( Hey team, it’s Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer – or as they call me in Detroit, Big Gretch. You know as well as I do that we have a big election coming up and a lot of work to do, so I’m going to cut right to the chase. Since Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz became our nominees for the White House, the energy I’ve seen from voters has been unmatched. That grassroots passion was on full display during last month’s Democratic National Convention and it has not stopped. But our work isn’t finished. This November, the White House, control of Congress, and key governorships across the country are up for grabs. Trump, JD Vance and extremists across the country are trying to take us back. Trump and his allies will raise costs on middle class families and roll back your freedoms with their extreme agenda – but we are ready to fight back. It’s about damn time there is a strong woman in the White House, and I know with my friend Tim Walz by Kamala Harris’ side they will lead with the same winning three-part strategy I do: Get. Shit. Done. Why wouldn't we choose the leader who's tough, tested, and a total badass? I know who I want as our Commander in Chief. So let's choose Kamala Harris, America. With 39 days left in this election, it’s now or never to get fired up, help send her and Tim Walz to the White House, and elect her partners in the states, Democratic governors – but I can’t do it without you. Momentum is on our side, team, but this election is still a toss-up. Donald Trump and extremists could win. But they won’t if we can sustain our momentum over the final 39 days of this election, which is why reaching critical fundraising goals like the one we’re facing right now is so important. This is the last end-of-quarter fundraising goal before Election Day – so I really need your help.
