I am still determined to give as much of my time to the work you elected me to do.

I know I’ve reached out more than usual ahead of Sunday’s FEC deadline, so before I ask again, I thought you deserved an explanation. So here it is:

I love this job. Every single morning I wake up with the opportunity to do work that will hopefully help people realize the dreams and the aspirations they have for themselves and for their families.

I wish I could spend all my time working to pass legislation that will increase wages, or reduce gun violence, or lower health care costs.

But the truth is I have to take my re-election seriously as well. For one, my constituents deserve to know that I’m putting in the work to earn their vote. But also, in a world where Republican billionaires and corporate interests can spend limitless sums against our movement, I have to be ready for anything.

That means I have to spend time raising money to fight back. For most members of Congress, this often looks like hour after hour in call time — sitting in a windowless room calling up donors and asking them for campaign contributions. It can make you feel more like a telemarketer than a Senator.

But I am still determined to give as much of my time to the work you elected me to do. That’s the best chance I have to deliver meaningful change for your family.

So I have made a bet that I can spend almost all my time legislating because you will step up and help fund my campaign. But it does mean I have to lean on you a bit more for support — especially on days like this. So with two days until the FEC deadline, I need to ask:

Will you please consider making a donation of $3 or whatever you can afford? The fights we’ve won — and the fights we will win — have only been possible because people like you who share our values pitched in to make it happen.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Emails like this and the small-dollar donations I receive are the primary driver of fundraising for my campaign.

Your support allows me to really focus on the work you want me to do, and it helps me be a better Senator. Thank you.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy
