I fear we could come up short

February's FEC deadline is especially important because we won't have the luxury of time once our nominee is selected.

We're getting down to the wire ahead of our February FEC deadline, and I have to be honest: I'm getting worried about our fundraising. We can't afford to fall behind on our goal this month -- not even by a few bucks. We're pouring every single dollar we're able to raise into the tools, programs, and staff our future nominee and Democrats up and down the ballot will need. Falling short of this goal isn't an option ahead of the most important election of our lifetimes. Please make a $7 contribution before midnight. Even if you can only spare a modest amount today, every single dollar will make a difference in this race. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount February's FEC deadline is especially important because it takes time to build the infrastructure we need to win -- whether that's improving and securing the data that our candidates rely on, training organizers to be on the ground and ready when the nominee is selected, or fortifying voter protection resources across the country to protect your vote. That all needs to happen now, Steven, because we won't have the luxury of time once we have our nominee. Waiting until the general election will be too late. It's one of my top priorities as our party's chief financial officer to run a streamlined, efficient operation that doesn't waste a cent. Anything you're willing to give ahead of this deadline will go a long way, which is why I'm asking: Will you donate $7 before tonight's midnight FEC deadline? It'd mean a lot, especially right now.
