I just took a big risk

Hi {NAME} — It’s Scott, Tammy {NAME}’s campaign manager. I made a difficult decision, and I thought you should know about it. As you may know, Republican megamillionaire Eric Hovde recently announced his Senate campaign to flip Tammy’s seat red. And just a week later, our opponent flooded $2.5 million into Wisconsin to go up with self-funded TV and digital ads — several weeks before our campaign planned to launch ads of our own. Look, whoever has more resources to spend on TV will likely win this election. That means we can't let Hovde and his right-wing allies control the narrative. We need to make sure voters know the truth now. After talking it through with Tammy and the team, we decided to increase our March advertising budget to go up with our own ads as soon as possible. The money wasn’t in the budget, but I gave the green light anyway. I took a big risk here. There’s no doubt about it. But I was willing to bet that if I reached out and told the truth, our grassroots supporters would come through to help fill this unexpected hole in our budget. That’s the only way we can keep pace with the $20 million Hovde plans to spend. [So, can I count on you to split a donation between Tammy’s reelection campaign and The Long Run today?
