Hey John – this isn’t the news we wanted to give at the beginning of a new month. But we have to be blunt:

We fell short of our August fundraising goal by $332.

This is the part of the election cycle where slowing down is not an option. MAGA Republicans will capitalize on fundraising shortfalls like this one and call us incapable of holding our razor-thin Democratic majority in the Senate.

It’s the worst-case scenario. But there’s still hope.

If we make up the deficit now, we’ll be back on track and have the resources to turn out Democrats all throughout the country. We just need your help to make it happen.

With two months left until Election Day, we can’t go back.

Before you click out of this email, will you please rush any amount today to make up for lost ground? Falling further behind would be disastrous for our chances of sending Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the White House and holding majorities in the Senate and House. [[link removed]]
