Good morning, folks!

I’m sorry to reach out so early, but with our final end-of-quarter deadline before Election Day right around the corner, this update couldn’t wait:

My team just informed me that we’re not on track to reach our grassroots fundraising goal before the deadline.

Now, I’m not going to be alarmist or tell you that the sky is falling because we’re behind. All is not lost if we come up short.

But I will tell you the truth, which is that the goals we set really do matter in a race as expensive as ours — and missing them will have consequences.

At a time when Republicans are spending tens of millions of dollars to attack us on the airwaves, we may be forced to pull down ads of our own or stop making new reservations to get our message in front of voters.

With a new poll showing that my race is statistically tied, I’m hoping that we won’t have to make any difficult decisions like that, and we can keep our foot on the gas in our fight to defend this Senate seat. But to do that, I’ll need your help.

I can’t win this race without you, team. Will you split a donation between my campaign and Blue Senate's Candidate Fund before our final end-of-quarter deadline of this election to help us get back on track so we can defend Wisconsin’s battleground Senate seat?

I’m grateful that I can count on you in moments like this.
