Hi Friend, it's Senator Tammy Baldwin with an important update:
A recent poll shows that my Senate race in Wisconsin is statistically TIED, and with my seat being targeted by Mitch McConnell and national Republicans, we need to make sure that we mobilize our supporters and strengthen our campaign efforts.
My megamillionaire Republican opponent is gaining ground in Wisconsin — and fast.
First, he plastered Wisconsin’s airwaves with more than $5 million worth of ads. Then, the Republican primary field cleared for Hovde, giving him more than 7 uninterrupted months to campaign against me.
Now, the latest polling has us statistically tied.
Republicans are going all in to flip this seat red, and we can’t expect him to let up. Eric Hovde has pledged to self-fund at least $20 million of his own personal fortune to defeat me, and he’s on pace to spend even more than that.
Look, unlike my wealthy opponent, I can’t self-fund this campaign. I don’t have right-wing dark money groups or GOP megadonors who can spend a fortune to tilt the scales in my favor.
That's why I am joining forces with the Wisconsin Senate Democrats and reaching out to grassroots supporters like you to help me fight back.
We need your help to reach undecided voters, keep our ads on the air, and make sure Hovde’s attacks don’t go unanswered. Friend, can you split a donation between my reelection campaign and the Wisconsin Senate Democrats today? >>
The WI Senate Dems work year-round to directly support candidates who are committed to defending democracy and winning a pro-choice majority, and having them on my side can help ensure that our state continues to progress in the right direction.
Friend, we need you on the side of Democracy. Will you split a donation between the Wisconsin SSDC and my campaign today to help me win this toss-up Senate race? All eyes will be on how we respond to this polling update.

I’m so grateful to have you on the team.
— Tammy
