Hi John, Senator Tammy Baldwin here with an important update on my campaign:

A new poll from Emerson College shows me locked in a statistical tie with my right-wing opponent, Eric Hovde, in Wisconsin’s Senate race.

Hovde and his right-wing allies have flooded Wisconsin with over $35 million worth of campaign ads to attack my record and dispel the fact that he’s an out-of-state, out-of-touch megamillionaire who doesn’t know or live our Wisconsin values.

As they’ve poured eye-popping sums of money into this race, Eric Hovde has surged in the polls – to the point where this is now a tied race.

We need to launch new ads now to fight back against these attacks and expose Hovde’s extreme views. Right now, Republicans are outspending us on the airwaves, and if they continue to do so, they could flip this seat and secure the Senate majority for the GOP.

Hovde and the dark money super PACs supporting him will spend even more now that they see the lead is within reach. We need to be prepared to fight back.

So today I’m asking: Will you split a donation between my reelection campaign and Jacky Rosen’s to help us fight back and win this battleground race?

We need all hands on deck to mount a response to this polling update. Thanks for pitching in, if you can.

– Tammy
