Did you see the big news?

Mitch McConnell’s handpicked candidate has *officially* entered the U.S. Senate race in Wisconsin.

Megamillionaire California bank owner Eric Hovde was handpicked by McConnell and recruited by the national GOP to run against me. He’s committed to spend at least $20 million of his own personal fortune to self-fund his Senate bid while the GOP plans to spend millions more to flip this seat red.

I’ll explain more about who he is and what his entry means for our race — but first, I’m personally asking you to pitch in ANY amount to help me defend this seat and our Democratic Senate.

If we lose this Senate race in Wisconsin, it’s almost guaranteed that Republicans will reclaim the majority this November. That’s why Mitch McConnell has made me a top-target, and why he’s recruited a right-wing megamillionaire to flip my seat.

Eric Hovde has agreed to spend at least $20 million of his own personal fortune to kickstart his campaign — and rest assured national Republicans will spend even more to tilt the scales in their favor. And they’re wasting no time…

Senate Republicans just launched an ad attacking me and misrepresenting my record — and it’s only a matter of time before Hovde goes up on the airwaves to do the same. We have to be ready to fight back and set the record straight at a moments notice, which is why I’m personally asking:

Will you rush a donation of any amount to help us defeat Eric Hovde and protect this seat? This is the most pivotal moment of our campaign so far, and I’m counting on your support to help us fight back.
