Sorry to email you so late on a Friday, folks, but this is important:

A new poll from Emerson College shows me statistically tied with my right-wing opponent in Wisconsin’s Senate race.

Eric Hovde and his right-wing allies have flooded Wisconsin with $17 million worth of campaign ads to dispel the fact that he’s an out-of-state carpetbagger and attack my record.

As they’ve poured eye-popping sums of money into this race, Eric Hovde has surged in the polls — to the point where this is now a tied race.

We need to launch new ads to fight back against these attacks and expose Hovde’s extreme views immediately. If Republicans outspend us, they could flip this seat and secure the Senate majority for Republicans.

Hovde and the dark money super PACs supporting him will spend even more now that they see the lead is within reach. We need to be prepared to fight back.

So folks, can I count on you to split an emergency donation between Angela Alsobrooks and my campaign to help us fight back and win this battleground race?

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

We need to quickly mount a response to this polling update. Thanks for pitching in, if you can.
