John,

As we officially enter the election year, our campaign is ramping up—preparing, organizing, and building the team we need for November. That also means we're closely tracking our fundraising goals to make sure we have the resources to power us through the months ahead.

To flip this seat, we can’t afford to slow down. We need to hit every fundraising goal between now and Election Day. I'll share more details below, but first—can I count on your support?

With Donald Trump in the White House, electing Democratic Governors has never been more important, especially here in the South. Extremists are threatening our fundamental freedoms and our democracy, and the Governor's office is our last line of defense.

I won’t sugarcoat it—this will be a tough race. National Republicans are already preparing to dump millions of dollars into my opponent’s campaign and into smear campaigns against me, and polls show us in a dead heat. But I’ve won hard-fought races before, and I know that a strong foundation of grassroots support is the key to our success.

So, will you support our campaign with a contribution today to keep us on track this month? Your early support now is vital to our campaign’s success in the months ahead.

Thank you,

Abigail
