BUT THEN, a recent poll shows that this race is nearing a three-way TIE. NOW, I'm within 3 points of advancing to the November election, and I need your help to close that gap. Here's the thing: As a Black woman, I knew I would never raise the most in this race — because on average, Black female candidates raise just a fraction of what white candidates do. But, I don't need to raise the most; I just need to raise enough to reach the right voters. And if we do that, we will win — because the polls have made it clear that the more voters learn about me, the more I earn their support. That's why we plan to put every last resource toward expanding our voter outreach program — and I'm counting on you to help fund these efforts.
