John, I'm Gary Peters, a Democrat running for reelection – and I've got nowhere else to turn right now. Despite unprecedented support for our campaign in Michigan, my GOP opponent just announced he has broken fundraising records and outraised us for the second straight reporting period. That's why Catherine suggested I reach out to ask you for help.

Donald Trump is funneling MILLIONS into Michigan to defeat me and buy this seat to expand Mitch McConnell’s majority in the Senate. They know that Democrats have ZERO chance of taking back the Senate if we lose in Michigan. And now, a recent poll shows me statistically tied with my right-wing opponent.

Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight reports that Democrats can take back the Senate, but we must first win in Michigan. That's why my team set a rapid-response goal of raising $20,000 by midnight – but right now, we're falling $3,892 short, and we're running out of time.

John, in a race this close – and with just hours left until midnight – whether or not we hit this goal could determine Senate control, so I'm counting on your immediate contribution:

Will you rush $5 right now – every dollar you can before midnight – to help Gary win in Michigan, take back the Senate for Democrats and protect the future of the Supreme Court?

With your support, we can work to keep Michigan blue and give Democrats a chance at taking back the Senate.

Thank you,
Gary
