Folks,

You don’t need me to tell you that Republicans are desperate to unseat me and flip Wisconsin red — it’s clear as day. In just a moment, I’ll tell you a little more about why they’re so determined to defeat me.

But before I do, will you make a donation of any amount before tonight’s October fundraising deadline to help our campaign protect Wisconsin’s toss-up Senate seat?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Some of the most competitive races in the country have happened right here in Wisconsin — including last year’s Senate race, when Republican Ron Johnson won by just 1% of the vote.

The GOP knows that next year’s race could be just as close, and they won’t spare any expense to flip one of the two seats they need to take back the Senate majority. That’s why they’ve been working overtime to recruit TWO megamillionaire Republicans to run against me and self-fund their campaigns with their own personal fortunes.

The GOP can recruit all the self-funders they want, but we have one thing on our side that they know they can’t rely on: grassroots power.

I’ve seen firsthand the strength of this grassroots team and all that we can accomplish when we come together, and I can say for certain that we won’t back down from this tough fight.

But our end-of-month fundraising deadline expires tonight, and we need all hands on deck to reach our goal. If you’re able, can I count on you to pitch in today?
