Friend – I'm short on time, so I'll get straight to the point:

With polling showing me neck and neck with my GOP opponent in Nevada's must-win Senate race, the only way for me to fight back and win is with your grassroots support. So please, is there anything I can say to convince you to make your first donation of $5 to my reelection campaign today?

Would it make a difference if I told you that CNN ranked me as one of the most vulnerable senators in the country?

What if I told you that Mitch McConnell handpicked my GOP opponent to run against me – and that he's backed by a shady billionaire who is spending $2 MILLION to help him buy this seat?

What if I told you that Democrats across the country are counting on us to win in Nevada to defend Senate control – but with time running out before our critical mid-month deadline, we're still falling short of our $20,000 goal?

Friend, only 10% of people open emails like this – and you're one of them. I hope I can count on you to take the next step by chipping in today. Please, will you donate $5 – or as much as you can – to help me reach my important mid-month goal, win in Nevada, and defend our Senate majority?

Thank you, friend. Your generous support is absolutely crucial to defending Nevada and Senate control.
