Yesterday morning, I asked for your help in getting 200 donors on ActBlue by the end of the quarter this Sunday, and you responded to the call. This morning, we have already met our goal, and the number of donors continues to climb. Thanks to you, we are number 10 in the list of hottest House candidates on ActBlue. There are still two days left until the end of the second quarter, and we're excited to see how high we can go.
I'd also like to invite you to join our team by setting up your own fundraising page on ActBlue where you can encourage your friends and family to support our campaign to bring honest, effective leadership back to Western New York. Setting up your own fundraising page on ActBlue is really easy, and will let you reach out to your friends and family in your own way.
By setting up your own ActBlue contribution page, you get to write your own pitch, in your own words. I want you to tell your friends and neighbors why you support our campaign, not why a professional fundraiser thinks you should. And your fundraising page isn't just a custom paint job - you can get under the hood and track lists and statistics if you want.
But don't think you have to have a lot of experience to set up your own fundraising page. The folks at ActBlue have made it really straightforward, and there's a great "How To" page that can answer your questions and give you tips on how to become a successful member of the fundraising team.
Mainly, though, I want to invite you to be an integral part of our team. I was born and raised in Western New York, and my campaign is about the people in our community, not DC lobbyists and special interests. Because when we work together, it really is our campaign. And that's what this is all about - bringing Western New York style leadership back to Washington, and working to make our community stronger.
