Can I tell you the story of how I first got involved in politics, John?

While serving as the president of the largest synagogue in Nevada, I was recruited to run in a competitive House race to help flip a red seat blue. Looking back, it's incredibly fitting that this was my entry point to public service – because my Judaism helps guide much of my work in the Senate today.

In fact, my decision to say "yes" and run for public office in the first place was guided by the Jewish principle of Tikkun Olam – which means to leave the world a better place than how we found it.

Now, as the third Jewish woman and only former synagogue president in Senate history, I'm proud to serve Nevada and our country. And I'm as committed as ever to keep fighting to better this world and make positive change happen. But I need your help.

With just under three months to go until the election, polls have shown me neck and neck with my extreme GOP opponent in Nevada's must-win Senate race, and The Cook Political Report named Nevada “the most PERILOUS" battleground for Democrats.

So please, I have to urgently ask: If the principle of Tikkun Olam resonates with you – if you're with me in the fight to continue making progress for the people and communities that we love – will you chip in $5 or more today to help me defend my seat in Nevada and our Democratic Senate majority?

Thank you so much,

Jacky
