But with early voting rapidly approaching on October 12, I’m afraid to admit we’re still $2,500 short of our end-of-quarter goal. From passing the Inflation Reduction Act, holding corporations accountable for paying their fair share, and putting more money in the pockets of hard-working Americans to job growth accelerating across all industries, Shontel Brown and her Democratic colleagues are delivering for the people. But to continue our progress, we must hold our Democratic majority in Congress this November. With the summer fundraising slump and back-to-school season, August and September are some of the hardest months to fundraise in, and we need to ramp up our fundraising to close the gap!
