Aww he sent me a letter.......well his campaign did! Friends, Last week we announced we raised more than $100,000 in contributions during the first week of the campaign, which is a powerful sign of Clay’s momentum. The momentum already has our opponents running scared, and that’s why during Clay’s first campaign outing in Harnett County we ran into a staffer who was tracking Clay. Having a tracker assigned to Clay shows that our opponents so worried about your support that they have now assigned someone to follow him around in hopes of finding material they can place in attack ads when they unleash millions of dollars on our campaign. The Republican tracker reminded us that we have to raise far more money in order to compete with opponents who have deep rolodexes and significant amounts of special interest support. The truth is that Clay has not been plotting a political career for his entire life. Despite our great start, we’ve only been in the race for 12 days. Our opponents have been in the race for far longer. The big lesson from the past twelve days? We have momentum and entrenched special interests and our opponents will be doing all they can to stop it. Will you contribute $15, $30, or more today in order to help us continue to carry Clay’s message forward? We are close to opening up office space, we have hired staff, and we’re continuing to build out an operation that we can all be proud of. Your donation today will let us know that you have our back in the face of the attacks that are sure to come from those who hope that they can stop Clay’s momentum in its tracks. We cannot thank you enough for your early support of Clay. It has shown the skeptics and cynics that many, many people are hungry for something different. Progress will always be challenged by those who benefit from the status quo, but ultimately we have faith that progress will prevail. Thank you, Gene Conti PS — Your contribution of $30 or more right now will allow us to make needed investments in order to keep Clay’s momentum going. Please consider making a gift today.
