Team — in just a moment, I’m going to ask you to split a donation between my reelection campaign and Jacky Rosen's. But first, I hope you’ll let me explain exactly why Republicans are dead-set on flipping my Senate seat in Wisconsin.

Some of the most competitive races in recent elections have taken place right here in my state, including last year’s Senate race, which Republican Ron Johnson won by 1%.

Wisconsin is also home to some of the most expensive elections in the entire country. Last year, we had the most expensive governor’s race in the nation — and earlier this year, we had the most expensive state judicial election in U.S. history. Next year’s Senate election will undoubtedly be the most expensive race I’ve ever run.

Republicans only need to flip two seats to retake the Senate majority, and they see Wisconsin as a prime pick-up opportunity. As I write this, they’re recruiting their ideal candidate from a pool of right-wing millionaires who can self-fund their campaigns to the tune of $20 million.

The GOP is right that this Senate seat is one of the most vulnerable, but they’re wrong to underestimate the power of this grassroots team.

Facing off against right-wing candidates with personal war chests at their disposal might seem intimidating, but we’ve overcome the odds before, and I’m confident we can do so again.

With that in mind, will you please consider splitting a donation between my reelection campaign and Jacky Rosen's to help us reach our fundraising goals and defend this Senate seat in Wisconsin?

The fight ahead of us won’t be easy, but together, I know we can cross the finish line to victory next year.

Thank you for everything.
