I have incredible news, friend: For the first time EVER in this campaign, we are 1 POINT UP on Ted Cruz according to a new poll that was just released last week!!

But now, I need you more than ever. My team and I just set a rapid-response goal to raise $250,000 by midnight tonight to make this poll a reality on November 5th – can I count on you to rush a split donation of $5 or more between my campaign and Jacky Rosen’s to help me keep the lead and defeat Ted Cruz?

I cannot stress enough what a huge moment this is in our race – and it's all because of grassroots supporters like you, friend.

But now that we're ahead, Ted Cruz and his allies will be throwing even more on top of the $25 million they've already reserved on attack ads against me.

With your help, I can fight back, build on this lead, and WIN – but we need to act fast!

I'm FIRED UP, and if you are too, I need you to chip in $5, $25, or whatever you can to help reach our goal and beat Ted Cruz! There's never been a better moment to join this team and show the power of our grassroots movement!

Thank you so, so much for getting me this far – now, let's get it done!
