John —

A bit further down in this email, I am going to ask you to split a donation between UNITEDemocrats and my campaign for Senate in Michigan. But before we do that, it's important to me that we explain why this request is so important.

Here's where we're at:

In just a short while, Donald Trump will take the stage in Flint, Michigan. Separately, J.D. Vance will take the stage for an event in West Michigan.

Naturally, they chose to put both members of the ticket in Michigan on the same day because this is the state that will decide everything in November.

One of the last times Trump was here, he called me a "Far Left Liberal Lunatic." So the attacks are probably coming again.

But more than that, their appearance comes just days before early voting is set to begin in our race.

This will be a chance for Republicans to build serious momentum in Michigan.

I promise that I am working harder than I have ever worked for anything. I am campaigning hard all across the state. But resources matter, and for that we rely primarily on individual, small-dollar donations.

That's why I have to ask. But first I thought it important to explain the current landscape. So with that said, if holding this Senate seat and Democrats winning Michigan is important to you, this is a moment I need you.

Can I count on you to contribute $5, $25, or whatever it is you can afford, to UNITEDemocrats and my campaign for Senate today? Do it before Trump's rally so we're ready for whatever comes next.

Thank you,

Elissa
