Friend,

I just wrapped up a strategy session with my team at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. With so many battleground races to prioritize – and Senate control sitting at a razor-thin 51-49 split – I wish the news was better. But it isn't. Ahead of our major FEC public reporting deadline, we're $10,981 short of our fundraising goal. 

(I'm about to explain why hitting this goal is so important, but if you can, donate $5 right now to help make up this fundraising shortfall and protect our Senate majority.)

Here's what I can tell you from the meeting I just got out of: The national map is competitive. Having fought and won many tough campaigns of my own before, I haven't seen a campaign cycle quite like this: We're defending a massive 23 Senate seats – and far too many are in incredibly competitive states like Michigan, Montana, Ohio and Nevada.

There's no way of sugarcoating it, friend: If we don't have the resources to defend these seats – if Republicans flip just a single state – then Mitch McConnell could become majority leader once again. 

And this campaign is well underway: The GOP has already launched TV ads targeting vulnerable Democrats and a pro-Trump super PAC has already spent $7 MILLION on vicious attacks. We know the GOP has millions more in the bank to shell out against President Biden and our Senate Democrats. Missing a goal like this is simply not an option – not if we're to have any hope of competing, winning and defending our majority.

We need to kick our campaign to protect Senate control into high gear. So please, as the senator who heads up our campaign to defend our majority, I'm personally asking you: Will you make a contribution of $5 or more now to make up our fundraising shortfall? Every dollar you give ensures we have the resources to protect our Senate majority. 

Thank you,

Gary
