Hello — 

In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign before tonight’s extended fundraising deadline. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today — is so important to flipping the Senate in November. 

Here’s the truth:

Mitch McConnell and his right-wing donor network are looking for any sign of weakness they can exploit in their campaign to save the Republican Senate majority. That means if we don’t catch up on our fundraising goal before midnight, we’ll be in trouble.

And the only way we can make up this difference is with a whole lot of grassroots donations from people like you. Both because I refuse to take money from corporate PACs, and because we’ve canceled our in-person fundraising during this pandemic. 

So, here’s my personal ask to you: 

Will you make a contribution of $10 or more to our campaign before tonight’s extended fundraising deadline? Your donation will immediately be put to use defending our campaign from Republican attacks. This is important: 

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $10 now Chip in $25 now

Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now

Chip in $250 now Another Amount

Right now we are doing well in the polls, and the pundits believe this race is the Democrats' best chance to flip a Senate seat. And if we can make up this difference in the next few hours with our grassroots fundraising, I believe we will win this election. 

Thanks for stepping up today.
