john — This is Tammy Baldwin.

With so much in the news lately, I wanted to make sure you saw these numbers:

$13 million: After cutting his campaign another seven-figure check last quarter, my self-funding opponent has now spent $13mil of his own personal fortune to flip this seat red — making him the highest-raising GOP Senate challenger in the country.

$43 million: This is how much Eric Hovde and five right-wing super PACs have already spent to flood Wisconsin’s airwaves with their ads. If they keep running misleading attack ads at this pace, they could totally drown out our campaign.

$5: That’s how much I’m asking you to chip in today to help us fight back against the flood of GOP spending and attacks I’m facing so we can defend Wisconsin’s battleground Senate seat.

I can’t turn to right-wing megadonors or write myself a $5 million check to fund this campaign like my opponent can. Instead, we’re going to win this race by building the largest team of grassroots supporters Wisconsin has ever seen.

Will you split a donation between Tina Smith and my campaign today? The number of folks chipping in matters even more to me than the amount you’re able to pitch in today.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Tina Smith and Tammy Baldwin will go through immediately:

Thank you for being part of this team. I can’t win this race without you.

— Tammy
