Friend – my mid-month fundraising deadline is tonight.

I'll explain more in a moment, but if that's all you need to hear: Will you please chip in to help me hit my $25,000 mid-month goal? Anything you give by midnight tonight will have an impact in keeping the Senate blue.

GOP extremists know we are barely hanging on to our majority – and their big-money allies will spend whatever it takes to break our grip.

It started when experts reported that Senate Democrats were facing our toughest odds in years. Some even called 2024 our "Senate map from hell."

So then, the money came rolling in – and Politico recently broke that a McConnell-aligned super PAC dropped another $70 MILLION into knocking out vulnerable swing state Dems.

That means Republicans have already spent $214 MILLION to beat us.

Frankly, I'm worried: With this much money being targeted at flipping our 51-seat majority, we've got no chance of keeping the Senate blue if we fall short of a single fundraising goal from here on out.

But as of right now, I'm critically short of my mid-month deadline.

The only way to turn this around is with a huge wave of grassroots support. So friend, I have to ask: Will you please chip in $5 or anything you can spare by 11:59 p.m. tonight to help me hit this goal? Unlike the GOP, it's the small-dollar donations from Democrats like you that will make or break our ability to keep the Senate blue.

Thank you so much for being on this team – seriously.
