To the DU from State Senator Carol (the DU is out for) Blood...

Last edited Mon Oct 21, 2024, 06:09 AM - Edit history (2)

Dear Donors of the Democratic Underground:

I was deeply touched by your thoughtful donations to my campaign. I can't express enough how much we needed new funds to help us finish strong on November 5th. These funds are instrumental in helping us to canvass and potentially get out an important mailing that we've not been able to fund fully yet. I'm proud to tell you that although we had a late start to this campaign, we were still able to knock on over 42,000 doors since we started knocking in March. We have a 12-county area to cover where republicans have the party advantage, and it's been a challenge, but we are going to keep working until 8:00 p.m. on November 5th. However, I always like to remind folks I've run and won at 2 different levels of government in a predominantly republican area, even beating an incumbent for my seat in the legislature.

It's nice surprises like the support you rallied behind me via Act Blue that keeps me motivated and working hard. I give you my sincere thanks and send a little love your way as well, hoping that this note makes you feel as good about supporting me as it did to receive help from so many new friends.

Enthusiastically, Senator Carol Blood https://www.carolbloodforcongress.com/

As always, you can donate to Carol with our DU link here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duoutforblood

Please give this post an R, so EVERYBODY gets a chance to read this.

Act Blue, I'm sure, has bigger players than DU members, but it fills me with pride to see how big those numbers have gotten! I was signed out for years, and only reading DU, but I used the ActBlue links for DU-linked contests and to support Ukraine. I hope those people are stepping up too!

This feels great! We put our money where our mouths are. That money is big enough that it gets us noticed and read by those looking for input from supporters.

Will we get to know what her DU bump was? The more successful I know it was, the more inclined I am to keep hitting those links!
