This is certainly one of our three most important races we are running 
this cycle. I am not fully aware of the requirements for helping our 
candidates yet as that process is relativity new, but we should get this 
done asap?!

I will be flying out to NH to help Caleb and Brandon in person ASAP 
before the election. Feel free to join me.

Thanks,
Joshua
