Look, I know it’s a Monday and you probably don’t have time to read some long, drawn-out explanation for why I’m sending this email, folks.

So instead, I’ll just get right to it: Tomorrow is our mid-month fundraising deadline and we’re well off pace to hit our goal. So, could you do me a favor and chip in $10 to our Senate campaign before deleting this email and going on with the rest of your day?

The truth is, we’re running against a self-funded, multi-millionaire who has already spent roughly $2 million of his own money on expensive TV ads to boost his campaign.

So, long story short: We’re well behind the 8-ball here, folks.

But that’s OK. Because I truly believe in the ability of this grassroots team to come together and outwork any wealthy millionaire who thinks they can buy their way into the U.S. Senate.

So, what do you say? Will you contribute $10 to help our Senate campaign get back on track and spread our message to voters all across Maryland?

Thank you!
