John, it’s Jon. Can I be real with you?

I’m no stranger to tough elections, but I’ve never run a race like this. I’m in the fight of my life right now, and I could really use your help. I’ll explain more in a second, but first, will you make a split donation to my campaign today?

Here’s two things I think you should know:

1) Mitch McConnell has made me his top target this cycle, and his super PAC allies are spending nearly $90 million in ads to tear me down. That’s more outside cash than all of my previous races combined.

2) Polling experts have rated this race a toss-up, which means we need all the resources we can get to build a winning operation.

I won my first Senate race by just 3,562 votes—and this one could be even closer. That’s why it's such bad news that our fundraising has taken a nosedive in the past 48 hours.

We have to right the ship immediately, so I’m personally asking: Will you split a donation to my campaign today?

Thanks, I really appreciate the support.
