Can I quickly explain something?

December 31st marks our campaign’s final end-of-quarter fundraising deadline of the year — the most important deadline we’ve faced so far. After we close the books, we’ll submit a report to the Federal Election Commission detailing how much we’ve raised and how many grassroots supporters like you have pitched in over the last three months. And shortly after, our report will be made public.

There is no way around it: If we fall short of our goal and end up with a weak report, everyone from Mitch McConnell to my Republican opponents will know we’re vulnerable. And the right-wing attacks will start flooding in.

Republicans have their sights set on flipping my seat red, so we can’t afford to show any signs of weakness as we head into the election year, but unfortunately, we’re falling behind on our fundraising. We only have 11 days to catch up before the end-of-quarter deadline, so I’m coming to you with a personal request today:

Will you make a donation of any amount to help my campaign turn things around before our final public fundraising deadline of the year? Thanks in advance for your support on this.

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

I can tell you that many of my colleagues in Washington don’t have the luxury of relying on grassroots donors like you. I’m so grateful that I can always count on the responses to these emails being really great, and I can’t thank you enough for always having my back.
