John, these last few months have been incredible. From the moment I launched my Senate campaign earlier this year, support from progressive fighters in every corner of the nation began to pour in, and we've built a solid foundation for my historic run for Senate.

Now, with more than $1 million raised in just over a month, we are sending a powerful message to all that America is ready to have a Black woman in the Senate once again – especially one with decades of experience fighting for progress.

But we have a problem: Election analysts are estimating that this will be one of the most expensive Senate primaries in history – and on top of that, I started this race at a MASSIVE fundraising disadvantage.

We need to make up a lot of ground – and fast. That's why I set the ambitious goal to raise $100,000 before May comes to a close, and I'm relying on your support to get me there. John, every single dollar does make a difference, so I'm personally asking you:

Will you rush whatever you can spare to my campaign before our end-of-month deadline? I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work building a progressive future for all in the Senate, but I can only get there with your help.

Thank you for being in this historic fight with me.
