I'm getting a little worried, friend. My end-of-month deadline is at midnight tonight, but we're still $6,253 short of our goal. So I have to ask: Will you chip in $5 or more right now to help me close the gap?

Here's the thing: Democrats are in for a tough election this year. In fact, it's so bad that experts have called it the "election map from hell" because we're defending 23 of the 34 seats that are up for election. And with the first presidential debate behind us, this election is now in full swing.

But don't forget – we don't just need to defend our majority; we need to expand it. Because still, Republicans like Mitch McConnell are stonewalling progress on everything from reproductive freedom to climate action – and we need the numbers to overcome him. 

Friend, Senate Democrats are going to have to do the seemingly impossible for the second time around, and we need your help. You can always count on me to be a vote to end the filibuster, defend your rights and protect our future, but I can't do this work alone.

We're competing with GOP candidates who are sitting on millions, so please: Before my most critical end-of-month deadline of the cycle so far, will you rush a donation before midnight to help me fight for progress and keep the Senate blue in in 2024?

Thank you for being someone I can always count on.
