Team — In a moment, I’ll ask you to make a donation before my campaign’s mid-month deadline expires at 11:59 PM. But first, I hope you’ll give me a moment to explain why your support is so important, especially right now.

Senate Republicans recently confirmed that Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked candidate, Eric Hovde, will run against me in Wisconsin’s Senate race.

Hovde is the GOP’s ideal candidate to help them take back the Senate for a number of reasons:

1. His views are as extreme as they come. If he flips this seat red, he’ll rubber stamp the GOP’s extreme right-wing agenda, which includes repealing the Affordable Care Act and banning abortion nationwide.
2. Eric Hovde is a megamillionaire, who has stated that he’s willing to self-fund his own campaign to the tune of $20 million.

Wisconsin is known for its competitive elections, and national Republicans see Hovde as the perfect self-funding candidate to help them tip the scales in their favor.

We have to be ready for Eric Hovde to jump into this race at any moment, so it’s imperative that we hit all of our fundraising benchmarks along the way — including tonight’s.

I’m relying on you to help us defend this seat against GOP megamillionaire Eric Hovde. Will you add a donation to our campaign before our mid-month deadline at 11:59 PM tonight?

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

Thank you for everything. With you on our team, I know we can defend Wisconsin and keep the Senate blue.
