John,

I announced my campaign for U.S. Senate 528 days ago.

Today, I am officially the Democratic nominee.

But I didn’t do it alone. I would not be here without every person who was a part of this grassroots campaign. It was the work of tens of thousands of people who put out a yard sign, knocked doors, made phone calls, chipped in a few bucks, or cast their ballot for me in the primary.

Take a second to think about that: tens of thousands of people coming together for a better future, including you. That’s the energy we are all helping to produce across the country right now.

Thank you. I am proud of the movement we have built, and I hope that you are too.

But for all that we have accomplished so far, our real work has just begun. The 90 day sprint is officially on.

So it is going to take each and every person who got us here—and a few more!— doing their part to keep Michigan blue in November.

I will be working harder than I ever have before over these next 3 months. But I cannot do it alone. I have relied on you to get to this point.

So I’m asking for your help again. Can I count on you to split $10 between my campaign and Fight for Progress to help us get over the finish line and keep Michigan blue? The margins in this race will be razor-thin, and every little bit counts.

Thank you for all that you have done to this point, and for your support moving forward.

Elissa
