Here is the good news: immediately after Kari Lake won the Republican primary in Arizona, we saw a HUGE surge of individual donations. It was amazing. That's money we have already put to work to ensure Ruben defeats her in November. Here is the bad news: After that surge, things slowed down pretty significantly. That's not great. Especially with recent polls showing her closing the gap on us and Republican outside spending groups making final calculations on where to spend their money in the final weeks. Look at this chart: [Slowed chart]( The blue line is money raised, the purple line is donations per day. You can see the drop. So it is our hope — our deep deep hope — that we can use convention week to turn things around. That we can get one more good surge of donations, which is especially important as we are making our own final budget decisions before early voting starts. What do you say? We're looking for a huge number of donations this week as the convention happens.
