| Jason, I want to speak candidly for a second -- will you entertain me on this?
This next week, you’re going to see a lot of emails along the line of “THIS IS THE BIGGEST FUNDRAISING DEADLINE OF OUR CAMPAIGN.”
You might even get a few of those from us!
But I want to break down what this means. For the general election we moved into monthly deadlines, as you know since we just wrapped up our last one on September 30. But as a presidential campaign in a presidential year, we’re now moving into two week filing deadlines.
So the FEC has our next deadline on Wednesday. And those numbers will be made public information less than two weeks before Election Day. Take a look:
October 14 is our LAST public fundraising deadline of the campaign, and we have a huge goal to hit to show the strength of our grassroots team over the last few weeks of this race.
Jason, it’s the last time everyone will be able to see how much you pitched in to do your part as one of the grassroots donors who helped us elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Will you pitch in another $15 to help us close the books on October 14 in the strongest position possible? | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | |
These deadlines aren’t arbitrary, Jason. They’re real dates on a calendar that our team is constantly planning around.
After our deadline on October 14, our numbers must be public by October 22 -- meaning everyone (including Donald Trump and undecided battleground state voters) will be able to see our final totals.
So, as you can see, Jason, it’s a pretty big deal.
And we’ll be poring over these numbers in the next week, tracking them on spreadsheets, and watching the progress bar inch towards 100%.
We’ve created some benchmarks by state to make sure we are on pace -- but if we can’t raise $2,317,500 more in New Jersey before our deadline on Wednesday, we won’t hit our goal to show the public that we’ve got what it takes to defeat Donald Trump.
So we’re relying on emails (like this!) and real people (like you!) to help us meet our goal, and we appreciate every time you open an email and pitch in -- so I have to ask you one more time:
Can you make your next donation right now to show Trump, his supporters, and the world that we have a huge team of grassroots donors like you behind us and that we’re charging full steam ahead toward Election Day? | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | |
Thanks so much,
