Friend —

As you certainly know by now, President Biden made a patriotic — and no doubt, difficult — decision to step aside and end his presidential campaign.

And if your inbox is anything like ours, that has led to a flood of emails asking for your support, including from our campaign.

And in historic moments like this one, we know that few people are wishing for MORE emails asking for money, especially when some of those emails have no clear connection to the critical task of keeping Democrats in control of the White House.

And that is why we want to explain how our race fits into all of this.

In other words: why Elissa and why now? And why all these emails?

Because the reality is there is no winning the White House or holding on to the Senate without Michigan.

Because Elissa has a track record of “losing better” in redder areas and that benefits Democrats up and down the ticket.

Because we have been building a campaign operation to reach voters in all 11 of Michigan’s media markets and, despite the uncertainty of an unprecedented moment, we are full steam ahead.

Because for all the uncertainty this moment holds, we know that Republicans are likely seeing an uptick in their momentum as well — which means this is not a moment we can let just go by for our campaign.

And more than anything, because the majority of individual contributions to this campaign come from emails like this one.

So yes, we have to email a little more. But only because it is absolutely critical we meet this moment, and that means having the resources to exceed energy on the Republican side and continue doing the hard work to keep Michigan blue.

So please: can Elissa count on you to chip in $3 today?
