Happy Friday, friend! Do you have any fun plans for the long weekend?

I'm excited for some time at home with family. If it's not too cold, maybe a long walk with my wife, Connie, and our rescue dogs, Franklin and Walter, or a few games of Scrabble if the weather keeps us inside.

It's those simple pleasures that keep me going during a long, tough campaign like this one, friend. That and my unwavering commitment to fighting for the Dignity of Work, reproductive freedom, and all our shared values.

But we can't get complacent for even a minute. Because the truth is, I'm in the fight of my life to defend this seat and our Senate majority. Experts are calling me one of the most vulnerable senators on the ballot, polls show me in a dead heat with my GOP opponents, and Mitch McConnell's super PACs just made their largest ad buy in one state ever to turn the tide against me.

That's why, before I let you go enjoy your weekend, I have to ask: Will you chip in $5 or more now to make sure I have the resources to pull ahead and defend this critical seat? Every dollar helps make sure Democrats can protect the Senate and keep fighting for crucial progress.

Thank you so much for being a part of my grassroots team. I hope you're able to log off soon for a relaxing weekend!
