I needed to reach out directly, friend: GOP extremist Sam Brown just launched his campaign to defeat me here in Nevada.

Mitch McConnell handpicked him because he knows Brown will be his rubber stamp in the Senate, voting for anything, including a national abortion ban. I’m fighting as hard as I can to defend my seat from a GOP takeover, but I can’t do it alone. Will you chip in $5 or more now to split between my campaign and Gary Peters' to help me keep Nevada blue?

With experts at FiveThirtyEight saying that Nevada could once again decide Senate control, McConnell and his GOP allies are coming after me as a top target. Now, The Washington Post reports that I’m one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country – and a recent poll shows me 2 points down.

This is the most pivotal moment of our campaign so far, friend.

I simply cannot compete with the GOP’s massive war chest unless supporters like you chip in. In a race this close, every dollar could mean the difference between winning and losing – so please, I’m humbly asking:

Will you chip in $5, $25, or as much as you can spare to split between my campaign and Gary Peters'? I’m counting on your urgent support to keep Nevada and the Senate blue.

I’m lucky to have you on my team. Thank you.
