John, we have an important ask for you this Wednesday.

Will you click this link and watch Defend the Senate’s newest ad calling out Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake in Arizona? We’ll explore more in a moment.

We know it sounds odd, John — so here’s why we’re asking you to click the link and watch the ad.

Emails like these are a critical part of our work. Grassroots supporters like you help us reach our fundraising goals, invest in battleground states, and defend our Democratic Senate majority.

You helped us flip the Senate blue in 2020 and expand our majority in 2022.

But with less than 200 days until the election, email providers like Google and Yahoo are making it harder to reach your inbox — making fundraising to Defend the Senate even more difficult.

That’s forced us to think outside the box.

By clicking this email and watching our latest ad, you’ll help us show email providers that our work to help reelect Senate Democrats and grow our majority is important.

Thank you!

— Defend the Senate
