I have to ask

 

I'm emailing to ask you to pitch in to help elect Kamala. Anything you're able to give right now makes a difference. Let me tell you why.

As Kamala's campaign manager, I get an update on our fundraising numbers more times in a day than I care to admit. I have to, because I need to make sure we're making the targeted, smart investments it takes to build a winning campaign.

That also means I'm constantly looking for ways to make every dollar stretch. So we can hire more regional organizers on the ground, build up our grassroots network in the early states, and plan more events where voters can hear from Kamala directly.

Here's the deal though. No matter how you slice it, contributions we receive through emails like this one make up a big percentage of our operating budget. The math just doesn't lie. All of us -- Kamala included -- count on you to make our campaign run.

Right now, we're not on pace to reach our May grassroots fundraising goal. That's why I'm asking you right now: Can you make a contribution of any amount to make sure we reach this target?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I'm going to be honest: if our fundraising numbers don't pick up significantly before May is over, I'll have to make some decisions about where we can cut back.

I don't want to do that. Every single line item in the June budget proposal sitting on my desk right now can make a difference between winning and losing this race.

That's just the reality of this election. The primary field is crowded with 23 Democrats running for president, and President Trump has already raised over $90 million for his campaign war chest. When Kamala wins the Democratic primary, we'll have a lot of catching up to do to beat Trump.

We can't come up short on this goal, because we're laying the foundation for a campaign that takes us through November 2020 and elects Kamala. I wouldn't ask if it weren't so important.

Grassroots supporters like you power this campaign. If you can step up your investment in our movement to elect Kamala, please pitch in right now:

Thanks for all you do. Let's go.
