Hi there, it's Elissa Slotkin.
Tonight, I will be taking the stage at the Democratic National Convention.
I hope that you’ll tune in. In any case, I want to explain why this is a rare opportunity for our campaign and how it connects to Democrats’ efforts nationwide.
I will have the chance to introduce myself — and our race — to Democrats across the country who know how critical of a swing state Michigan is. And on the final evening of the convention, that opportunity is magnified.
It is a night when Democrats up and down the ticket — culminating with Vice President Harris — will prosecute the case against Donald Trump and talk to America about what a second Trump presidency would mean for our future.
Historically, the convention is also a moment that generates a surge in enthusiasm for the Democratic candidates. This means new volunteers, a surge in the polls, and, yes, grassroots donations at a scale that helps power a campaign.
The Republicans and our opponent certainly experienced that surge during their convention. They will be watching to see if Democrats can match or even exceed their efforts.
So I am asking: before I take the stage tonight at the Democratic National Convention, will you split a contribution of $20 between my campaign and Tim Kaine to help us hold the Senate?
