Team,
We’re right around the corner from our first big Federal Election Commission deadline: At the end of this month, we’ll have our first ‘end-of-quarter’ deadline of this U.S. Senate campaign.
Let me quickly explain what this actually means.
Each year, candidates running for federal office face four quarterly deadlines. After these deadlines pass, so in this case on March 31st, we are legally required to report how much money we’ve raised, and from how many individual contributions.
These quarterly deadlines are treated by political folks as a strength test of a new campaign: early lots of support from a large number of individual supporters? Your campaign appears on track. Not meeting internal goals and only raising from a few folks? Not a great start.
But for a campaign like mine, this deadline is particularly important: I’m not taking any money from corporate PACs to fund this campaign.
It’s a pledge I made in my very first campaign for elected office in 2018, and it’s one I’ve stuck to. That’s because I never wanted anyone to wonder if I voted a certain way because of donations a corporate PAC made.
That’s why I’m working hard to ensure the FEC report we file on March 31st shows the strength of our grassroots supporters. And that strength comes from people like you donating to emails like these.
So please, will you consider making a contribution to my Senate campaign today?

THANK YOU for your support – I couldn’t do this without you!
