     Hi all,
     The national party spent a lot of money leading up to Election Day,
     on
     important things including ballot access, candidate recruitment,
     candidate support, the national convention, affiliate support, and
     more.
     We are in a financial crunch right now as we work to pay off some of
     those bills, like the Hyatt.
     I begin my tenure as interim ED tomorrow. Over the last couple of
     weeks,
     Robert Kraus and I have worked to make adjustments where possible to
     both raise more money and to reduce costs. For example, previously,
     LPHQ
     has a cleaning crew visit twice per week. We've cut that back to
     once
     per week.
     I'm focused on getting our financial crunch resolved ASAP so we can
     move
     into the new year on a more solid financial footing. I think the
     first
     quarter of 2019 will be very good for us in terms of
     revenue/fundraising
     but this fourth quarter of 2018 is challenging.
     To help with this, Robert and I have started a matching campaign. We
     each gave $500 to the party today, and are asking others to consider
     matching us. So far, Tim Hagan, Bill Redpath, Steve Dasbach, and
     Shane
     Cory have pledged to join us, by giving $500 each. Thanks to each of
     them for helping so generously. Each of us is giving because we want
     the
     party to finish paying off our 2018 investments and start preparing
     for
     aggressive campaigning in 2019.
     Please consider if you can join us in this matching campaign. If you
     can
     do $500, that would be extraordinarily helpful. If you can do more,
     or
     less, that is also very much appreciated and helpful. If you can
     pitch
     in, please do so at LP.org/donate.
     As always, many thanks.
