I just got off the phone with my Senate campaign team here in Maryland, John, and I had to make a tough call.

Here’s the problem: Our multi-millionaire opponent has committed to spending tens of millions of dollars of his own money in this race, and his massive spending advantage means he’s already running ads to voters.

Here’s the solution: To counter his ad spending, I told my team we’re going to ramp up our digital program ahead of schedule — even though that means burning through our budget faster than we’d initially planned.

It was a tough call, John, but I’m confident that it’s the right one. I honestly believe that this grassroots team is up to the challenge, and it’s our not-so-secret weapon that can outmaneuver the tens of millions he’s got to burn.

Can I count on you to have my back by chipping in a grassroots donation split between my campaign and UNITEDemocrats to help us boost our digital program so our Maryland-first message can cut through all the noise?

Thanks — I know I can count on you!
