Jeanne's Cookies: honestly…

honestly…

I just got off a call with my team, and honestly… It wasn't good.

We're not on track to hit Off the Sidelines' $50,000 End-of-Year fundraising goal.

This is the kind of moment where I feel the weight of what we're trying to build together. Every woman we recruit, every race we invest in, every seat we have a chance to flip next year… none of it matters if we can't hit our fundraising goals.

Trump's allies are already pouring money into key battleground Senate races. They're recruiting candidates, running polling, booking ad time and locking down the resources they need to defend their vulnerable seats. They learned their lesson from past cycles — start early, spend big and don't give Democrats an inch.

And if we don't hit this goal, our candidates in states like North Carolina and Georgia won't have the resources they need to fight back and win. They'll be outspent, out-organized and outmaneuvered before they even have a chance to make their case to voters.

So please, chip in whatever you can today. We only need another $4,392 before midnight to get back on track!

Thank you so much, I'm grateful.
