The way campaigns like ours work is that every few months you have to report how much money you’ve raised.
Those reports are - somewhat surprisingly - hugely influential.
Especially in a statewide 50/50 race like ours, they get a lot of press attention and, as a result, have a tendency to set the tone for the campaign.
Our big deadline is the end of this month. After that, we won’t have another one until the week before the election, so this is pretty much the biggest one of the whole campaign.
That’s my polite way of saying that if you can help us out now, it would be very well-timed.
