[1]U.S. Senator Chris Murphy

We’re still short of our goal ahead of the FEC deadline tomorrow, but before I ask you to give, I thought you deserved an honest explanation for why this is such an important moment for my reelection.

After this FEC deadline, our fundraising numbers go public. The gun lobby, corporate super PACs, and Republicans will rush to take a look and start assessing whether it's worth taking us on or not.

If we fail to show that we’re taking this race seriously, they could put a target on me and try to force Democrats to spend tens of millions of dollars defending this seat and the Senate majority.

So that’s why posting a strong number is so important. And even better if we can do it with contributions from A LOT of people.

That helps me prove that this isn’t another typical DC campaign loaded up with PAC and corporate money (FYI I don’t take PAC money). Your donation sends a message loud and clear that we have an army of people who have my back in this fight.

Make sense? This is why we cannot afford to falter or miss our goal for this official deadline. So here’s where I ask:

Can you make a contribution to help us close this gap today? Any amount will work. The number of donations is just as important as what we raise.

Thank you for all you do. I’m not taking a dime of PAC or corporate money. I believe in building a true people-powered movement, so your support really does make all the difference.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy

P.S. I want you to know that you’re a part of something special by being on this team. The strength of our movement is pretty magical. If even 1 out of every 7 people reading this pitched in right now, we could hit our goal today. So please use this link to donate right now if you can afford it.
