Welp, I sit corrected.

Hope you don’t mind a little wheelchair humor. I’m just trying to lighten up a fairly heavy situation.

Look, we’re a fully grassroots campaign in the most expensive part of the cycle, and our opponents are so unbelievably rich that buying an election is no different than you or me buying a pack of gum. They’re spending at least $100 million to buy this election.

So I knew it was possible that our expenses would outpace our fundraising in October.

However, I expected that with Election Day looming and more people getting more invested in this ultra-competitive tied Senate race, things would even out before the end of the month.

Unfortunately, I sit corrected.

The big expenses — statewide TV ad campaigns, mailers, phone banking, door-knocking operations, events — are draining our budget faster than small-dollar contributions are replenishing it.

I don’t want to enter the final week of this election running on fumes. It’ll make the task of reaching undecided and swing voters even harder than it already is.

With just days to close the budget gap, will you rush $10 or more to beef up our numbers before midnight?

Thanks,
Josh
