Good morning!

I’m sorry to reach out so early on a Saturday, but with our August fundraising deadline less than 24 hours away, this update couldn’t wait:

My team just informed me that we’re not on track to reach our grassroots fundraising goal before midnight.

Now, I’m not going to be alarmist or tell you that the sky is falling because we’re behind. All is not lost if we come up short.

But I will tell you the truth, which is that the goals we set really do matter in a race as expensive as ours — and missing them will have consequences.

At a time when Republicans are outspending us on the airwaves, we may be forced to pull down ads of our own or stop making new reservations to get our message in front of voters.

With a new poll showing that my race is statistically tied, I’m hoping that we won’t have to make any difficult decisions like that, and we can keep our foot on the gas in our fight to defend this Senate seat. But to do that, I’ll need your help.

I can’t win this race without you. Will you chip in before our tonight’s end-of-month deadline to help us get back on track so we can defend Wisconsin’s battleground Senate seat?

Please use the links in this email to start a weekly donation through ActBlue.

I’m grateful that I can count on you in moments like this.
