Friend, I’ll be direct:

We are in the throes of an unprecedented public health crisis affecting every single aspect of our daily lives — including the way our campaign is being run. Let me explain what I mean by that.

Right-wing groups with ties to Mitch McConnell are pushing forward with millions in ad buys to defend GOP-held Senate seats. They’re showing no signs of slowing down. If anything, they’re ramping up.

But that’s not how we’re doing things in our campaign. Instead, we’re focused on making sure folks like you own a piece of this grassroots movement — not the big outside spenders or shadowy players trying to influence our elections.

So, believe me when I tell you, every grassroots donation to our campaign makes a huge difference in our race and our work to end the GOP’s stranglehold on our democracy.

Our mid-month fundraising deadline is coming up at midnight tonight. But our donations have understandably taken a turn, so we lowered our goal to meet this new reality. And we’re SO close to hitting our updated target — so I’m asking:

Can you add a donation to our re-election campaign for U.S. Senate to help us hold strong in Minnesota and help Democrats flip the majority? Please, only give if you can afford to do so. I really mean that.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you for everything you do to power our campaign — whether you donate or not. But I hope you know every single penny you give means the world to me.

Stay safe out there.
