Families First

I knew this campaign was never going to be easy. From the start, looking at the history of this District we had two years where this campaign was run unopposed, but we’re making progress. Volunteers are signing up and the door knocking has begun. What we’ve built on this campaign puts us in the strongest position to win in November — but this is going to be a tough fight. I've faced tough circumstances before. If we have the resources, we can create real changes and put Families First in November. That is why I’m asking, especially today: Please click the the link to make a contribution to Kate McLaughlin’s campaign for Montana House District 9.

TacticThe ad relies entirely on urgency-driven copy with a 24-hour deadline to pressure supporters into donating, using social proof ('the people are with Kate') to motivate action, but is undermined by a completely blank image.
