sorry for the late email

Sorry for the late email, friend. I promise this is the last time you'll hear from me before our huge mid-month fundraising deadline, but I had to reach out one last time to our top supporters because we're still short of tonight's goal. I mean it when I say the stakes are getting higher every day, and it's becoming more critical than ever that we be in position to win. We cannot hand our children and grandchildren an Arizona that never reached its own potential. We can't be content to let our families struggle and our votes be silenced. We owe it to every single person in this state to do better than what our failed GOP leaders think is good enough. But whether or not we defeat the rising extremism in our state and finally get back on track – that comes down to moments like this. So I have to ask: Please, friend, can you chip in $5, $25, whatever you can spare, to hit our mid-month goal by midnight and keep pushing to flip Arizona blue? Here's the best link to give: [( Thank you for never giving up, Marco --------Forwarded Message-------- From: Marco Lopez (D) Date: Fri, Aug 13, 2021 Subject: What we do for our democracy right now will be felt for generations Friend, I'll get right to it: Donald Trump recently visited Arizona to spread lies about the 2020 election, defend the GOP's sham election audit and keep this battleground state red. If we don't fight back now, I'm worried our entire movement to defeat GOP extremism and flip Arizona blue could be in serious danger. That's why we set an ambitious mid-month fundraising goal – so that we have the resources we need to fight back against Trump's lies, defend our state and finally elect a Democratic governor. But unless we see a surge in grassroots support, I'm afraid we'll fall short: [So please, friend, will you give $5 or more now – any amount helps – to flip battleground Arizona blue and defeat Trumpism once and for all?]( Arizona Democrats – led by Latinx and Native American voters – fought hard to turn Arizona blue for the first time in decades and deliver big for Democrats. But the GOP couldn't handle it. They immediately lashed out – passing voter suppression laws and inviting the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump to come to Arizona and attack our democracy. That's exactly what their sham "audit" is: an attack on your voice and on the core of the democratic process. As an Arizonan, I was horrified to watch my state's governor not just accept this, but welcome it. It's clear that state GOP "leaders" like Doug Ducey and Kelli Ward aren't focused on what actual Arizonans need. That's why I'm running to be our next governor and finally get us back on track – to defend voting rights, fix our broken education system and build a state that works for all people. But these recent attacks on democracy (and decency) have made it clear that we will NOT win this fight unless we hit every goal, every deadline, every time. And we have to do that, because the only way to stop Trumpism from running rampant across Arizona is by kicking his supporters out of power and electing a Democratic governor. Here's the good news: Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight confirms that we can win – but insiders at POLITICO say Republicans are getting ready to spend BIG to defeat me and keep this battleground red. That's why this mid-month goal is so critical – but we're already falling behind, and I need your help now to close our budget gap. [What we do for our democracy RIGHT NOW will be felt for GENERATIONS – and we cannot afford to let Trump define our future. So please, will you donate $5 or more now – before our critical mid-month fundraising deadline – to defeat GOP extremists and flip Arizona blue?]( If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [Donate $5]( [Donate $25]( [Donate $50]( [Other]( Thank you, Marco Lopez --------------------------------------------------------------- Please read on for a personal message from Democrat Marco Lopez: Friend, I’m so grateful you’re part of our people-powered movement to flip Arizona blue. But I have to be honest: I’m counting on your help now more than ever. I’m a proud Democrat, former border city mayor and Obama administration alum – and I’m running for governor to build a state that works for all our people. But failed GOP politicians like Kelli Ward and Doug Ducey are spreading delusional conspiracy theories and putting Donald Trump’s interests ahead of what’s best for our state. Enough is enough. But with Arizona slated to be the nation's TOP battleground in 2022, Republicans are gearing up to spend MILLIONS to keep the governorship red, so we’ll only win this race with overwhelming grassroots support. If you’re with me, [please chip in to power our fight forward.]( Thank you so much. – Marco Lopez [I'm running for governor to defeat GOP extremism, put a Democrat in the governor's office and build a state that works for all our people.]( [Donate]( This email was sent to {EMAIL}.
