Folks: The GOP has been hard at work recruiting their ideal candidate to run for Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate seat — and they may have found their man in California megamillionaire Eric Hovde.

I’ll tell you more about the GOP’s hand-selected challenger gearing up to jump into this race — but before I do, would you consider making a donation to help me defend Wisconsin and our Democratic Senate majority?

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

Eric Hovde is as extreme as they come. He is “totally opposed to abortion.” He “absolutely” wants to cut Social Security benefits. And he’s said that he would fully repeal the Affordable Care Act.

The cherry on top for the GOP? Hovde is prepared to self-fund his campaign to the tune of $20 million from his own deep pockets to make up for what his extreme agenda lacks in grassroots support.

I’ll put it plain and simple. With Republicans now all but guaranteed to pick up West Virginia’s Senate seat, losing this seat would secure the Senate majority for Republicans, and Eric Hovde would fall right in line to help the GOP enact their far-right agenda.

If we want to have any shot at defending our narrow Senate majority, we have to come together to defend Wisconsin. There’s far too much at stake to let Eric Hovde pay his way to victory and clinch the Senate majority for the GOP.

If you’re able to spare any amount, can I count on you to pitch in to my reelection campaign? We have 2 days left before our final mid-quarter deadline of 2023, and a lot of ground to cover in the meantime.

Thank you for all of your support. It means more than you know.
