We’ve had to make a difficult decision about Arizona...

The trouble is, our fundraising just hasn’t been as strong as we anticipated after the events of the last few weeks — weak enough that we’ve had to reconsider some of our commitments. With Ruben under attack we knew we had to defend him, but the money wasn’t in the budget. [VoteVets] {NAME} — tonight is Arizona’s primary election. After this, Ruben Gallego heads into the general. Arizona is a MUST WIN STATE, and in advance of this important deadline we had to make a difficult decision. Please, let us explain why. As one of our most important supporters, we owe you that much. The polls show Arizona is one of the most competitive states in the country. Ruben Gallego, a longtime member of VoteVets and a Veteran of the Iraq war, is running against Kari Lake in Arizona’s U.S. Senate campaign. A race like that is going to cost millions of dollars to win, and believe us: it is critical that Ruben wins. Kari Lake is as dangerous a politician as there is these days, a direct threat to our democracy. The trouble is, our fundraising just hasn’t been as strong as we anticipated after the events of the last few weeks — weak enough that we’ve had to reconsider some of our commitments. With Ruben under attack we knew we had to defend him, but the money wasn’t in the budget. This was a difficult decision, but we knew what we needed to do. We greenlit the spend, even though we weren’t sure how we’d cover the cost. VoteVets ran $500,000 in ads in Arizona last month, and we’ve just committed another $800,000 right now, a serious amount. We’re not telling you this to brag, {NAME}. We’re telling you because we need your help. If you’re with us, and if you can afford it, can you chip in to help cover the cost? [Use this link to chip in $5, or anything you can. It would go a long way towards filling our budget gap after we started running those as. If we raise more, we can do more. If we don’t, we’ll have to pull back — and that could hurt our chances this November.]( If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly: [Rush $10 now]( [Rush $25 now]( [Rush $50 now]( [Rush $100 now]( [Rush $250 now]( [Another Amount]( Thank you in advance for your support, The team at VoteVets  PAID FOR BY VOTEVETS, VOTEVETS.ORG, NOT AUTHORIZED BY ANY CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE’S COMMITTEE Use of military rank, job titles or photographs in uniform does not imply the endorsement of the Department of Defense, Departments of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or the Marines or Space Force.
