This isn’t news I wanted to share, but I need to: We fell short of our 48-hour founding donor goal.

Now, I’m not here to scare you, trick you, or guilt you into making a donation. The sky isn’t falling just because we fell short.

But I will be transparent in saying that we’re at a disadvantage every time we miss a goal like this one.

You see, my opponent doesn’t have to worry about grassroots fundraising — not when he’s self-funding his campaign with one seven-figure check after another.

If Hovde keeps up his momentum and the GOP continues to spend millions of dollars against me, we risk being outspent and drowned out on the airwaves. That means Hovde could keep surging in the polls, and ultimately flip this seat. And if we lose Wisconsin, we lose the Senate majority.

We can’t let that happen, which is why I’m hoping you can help us out today:

We extended our deadline to midnight tonight so that we can reach our 10k donation goal: Can I count on you today to help get us back on track so we can defend this battleground Senate seat from Eric Hovde?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you for your continued support.
