Hi folks — Ben Wikler here from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is home to some of the most competitive elections in the country — and Tammy Baldwin’s reelection race this year is shaping up to be no different.

Last month, Senate Republicans threw their support behind Eric Hovde, the right-wing megamillionaire who is gearing up to enter Wisconsin’s Senate race.

As soon as he launches his campaign, he’ll bring with him a campaign war chest fueled by at least $20 million of his own personal fortune. That’s the kind of cash that can tilt the scales when elections are won and lost by less than a percentage point.

I know this campaign has what it takes to reelect Tammy Baldwin, defeat Eric Hovde, and keep Wisconsin blue. But we need to start building resources now to prepare to compete against Hovde’s cash advantage — so Tammy’s campaign can reach voters, fight back against Republican attacks, and mobilize Democrats across the state.

None of that can happen without your support, which is why I’m reaching out to you today:

Before tomorrow’s end-of-month deadline, will you make a donation to Tammy’s campaign to help her keep Wisconsin blue? She can’t defend this toss-up Senate seat without your help:

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

We’re getting déjà vu with Republicans like Eric Hovde following Ron Johnson’s winning strategy from 2010 — when Johnson announced late in the cycle to avoid disclosing his personal finances for as long as possible and fueled his campaign with his own personal fortune, before defeating Democratic incumbent Russ Feingold.

Together, we have a chance to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself in 2024.

Thanks for playing a critical role in Tammy’s campaign.
