Friend: I've got nowhere else to turn. My right-wing opponent announced he outraised us again. Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are funneling millions into Michigan to prop up my opponent and defeat me – and if they're successful, Democrats will have zero chance of taking back the Senate.
|
So I'm reaching out for your help – but before I ask, I'd like to explain why the stakes of our race are so incredibly high.
|
If we lose, Democrats will throw away our only chance of taking back the Senate. That means two more years of Mitch McConnell calling the shots in Washington. That means he and Donald Trump will team up to put more extremist justices like Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, and you can bet they’ll keep trying to dismantle protections for those with preexisting conditions.
|
I've won tough elections before, and I'm ready to fight tooth and nail to win again. But polling shows me tied with my opponent, and right now, the DeVos family and dark money GOP groups are spending more to defeat me than any other in-cycle Democratic senator in the entire country.
|
So here's the hard and simple truth: Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight says Democrats can take back the Senate, but only if we first win in Michigan.
|
Those are the stakes. And with the future of the Senate on the line, in a race this close, every dollar could be the difference between winning and losing.
|
After we were outraised, a group of donors stepped up to match all donations that came in yesterday. But we still fell short of our goal last night. Thankfully, they extended that match opportunity, but only until midnight tonight. As of right now, we're still $4,789 short of what we need to win. If you're like me, you don't want to wake up on Election Day wishing you'd done more to take back the Senate.
|
So now I'm asking: Will you pitch in to help us win here in Michigan and take back the Senate for Democrats by giving $3 or more now? I'd really appreciate it. Every dollar will be doubled until midnight using this link: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/peters_email
