Friend, we've come such a long way since launching this campaign one year ago. I want to share how far we've come, but first, I have to ask: 

We need to raise $25,000 by MIDNIGHT to keep Delaware and the Senate blue, so I'm personally asking: Will you chip in a split donation between my campaign and Patty Murray’s to show our opponent how strong our grassroots movement has become?

Only three Black women have come before me to earn this honor, so I'm facing one of the largest glass ceilings in American politics. But I'm no stranger to tough fights. With the support of this grassroots team, I became the first woman and person of color to represent Delaware in the House.

Now, I'm running to make history again in the Senate. Despite the many barriers that stand in my way, I know I can get there, but it'll only happen with the support of people like you.

I'll tell you why: Historically, Black women running for office only raise one-third of what their white counterparts do. And already, I've seen that painful statistic come to life.

My self-funding opponent has already written his campaign a check for nearly a million dollars of his own personal fortune.

That means we're heading into the final stretch before the primary election with some serious ground to make up. In order to fight back, we need to meet every single fundraising goal we set, including tonight's $25,000 goal.

Will you chip in $5, split between my campaign and Patty Murray’s, to reach our goal, keep Delaware blue, and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

Together, we’ve made incredible strides in the first year of this campaign, and I'm counting on you to help power us all the way to victory on Election Day.

I can't thank you enough for your support. It truly means the world. Let's win this thing!
