It's been an incredible two days in the office and it is because we have been infused with energy from the 1100+ people who have contributed to the campaign since yesterday around lunch time and the enthusiam that has been directed our way.
As of 8:29 PM CST we had raised, $47,133.79 in online contributions.
I didn't sleep last night, because I was catching up on the million things I didn't get done during the day - but I promised myself I would get out of the office early tonight and go to bed! Mostly because I know you've got my back, and you've got Ciro's too!
Below, please find an e-mail I sent out last night so those among the first 602 donors who had included an e-mail address via ActBlue (not that I don't appreaciate the PayPal users just as much, I just did not have the ability to get the information together last evening!)
The truth is that no matter if your contribution has been in the form of dollars and cents, or just goodwill and keeping this momentum going - you have made a difference in the race.
So, thank you. More below the fold...
Dear Friends,
As I am sure you can imagine, I am practically speechless at the response of each and every one of the 1100+ people who decided to invest in a truly Democratic Congress and contribute to Ciro's campaign today. I can't begin to describe the flood of excitement at the campaign office today or the incredible jolt of energy you have helped infuse the campaign with.
You will soon be receiving a message from Ciro, thanking you for the contribution you have made today, but I wanted to make sure that you all knew how much I am thankful as well. When I joined Ciro's campaign a few short weeks ago I knew that I was making the right choice - I saw in him and his record, what you have seen today - that he is a man who truly represents the Democratic values I believe in and is a candidate I can be proud to work for and to put into office.
I hope that you take the time to learn more about Ciro and what he stands for and to join us in our continued efforts to take back the 28th congressional district.
Although things are moving quickly, we are always available if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions for, or about ,the campaign. I look forward to being able to bring you additional updates as we move on.
All the best,
Tracy Joan
