Hi again, friend, it's Gary, chair of the DSCC. I just got the final July Grassroots Fundraising Report from my team and I have bad news: We fell $11,437 short of our July end-of-month goal, with just three months to go before the election.

I won't beat around the bush: I need to make this gap up before midnight tonight or we won't have the resources to support Democrats in critical races across the country. That's why I am personally asking: Will you rush $5 before 11:59 p.m. tonight to protect our Senate majority come November? Here's the best link to give: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/gp_email

Abortion rights. Affordable health care. Voting rights. Relief for working families. The future of our democracy. Everything that we care about is on the ballot this year – but we are up against the narrowest possible margins.

Republicans just need one more seat to take back the majority – and far too many of our Democratic incumbents are playing defense in toss-up races. Recent polls show that we have a lot of ground to cover over the next three months if we're going to protect our Senate majority. Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Sen. Jon Tester in Montana, and Sen. Jacky Rosen in Nevada are all facing razor-thin races, with dark-money GOP PACs spending MILLIONS to defeat them.

At this stage in the race, a single dollar, donation, or donor could shift the scales. This small gap in our fundraising could be the difference between victory or handing the Senate back to the GOP. We cannot leave anything to chance. So please, friend, will you make a grassroots donation before midnight tonight so that we can hit this goal and defend our Senate majority? Here's that donation link again: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/gp_email

This is our last chance to help Democrats pull ahead in the polls. I'm really counting on you.

With gratitude,

Sen. Gary Peters
