Sure, kos has his own full agenda of candidates to promote for an end-of-quarter push, but what about my district?? Yesterday, Carnacki reached the recommended list with a personal appeal. Today, it's my turn to convince you to adopt our district.
Turn WV-02 Red to Blue
We had a great reception to yesterday's "ask". We're so close, help put us over the top.
Update: 2PM ET You all are great! We're now at 58 donations and $5,030 raised!
Donors and Dollars
Tomorrow morning candidates all over the country will be tallying up their totals and preparing FEC reports. Those reports will be poured over by the media, political pundits, and campaign strategists to shape the emerging narrative about what candidates have the best chances of winning 13 months from now. The harsh reality of electoral politics is importance of quarterly "cash on hand" figures.
The ascendency of small dollar donors and the transparency of ActBlue fundraising provides another metric: number of donors.
Back on the 1 year anniversary of the founding of West Virginia Blue, we set a goal of bringing the total # of ActBlue donors for WV-02 to one for each week since we had started the site. This morning there are a total of 49 donations to John Unger's campaign via Act Blue.
We are only 8 donations away from one for each week since the site began 57 weeks ago!
To date there's been $4745 raised for WV-02 at ActBlue. We have another goal to announce this morning: $2400 in the final 24 hours. Why do we think this is possible?
Your contributions today will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous donor.Turn WV-02 Red to Blue
My personal appeal.
There have been many times when I've questioned why I spend so much time on this website. I've wondered if the time spent volunteering for campaigns was worth it. Recently, we've had some weeks in Washington where I doubted even electing more Democrats in Congress would make even of a district.
The first time I heard John Unger speak I wasn't sure what to expect. I came away impressed. The first time I had a lengthy conversation with John Unger I was even more impressed. There will never be a politician I agree with 100% on all issues, but John Unger is a person who I trust. He is the type of person who is worth working hard to send to Washington. I will be honored to have him serve as my Representative.
Please help make that possible. We need a few more contributions to top the Q3 fund-raising goals. Your contribution could be the one!
