A bit further down in this email, I will ask you to split a donation between Tim Kaine 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 Michigan for not one but two visits, stopping first on the west side of the state and later in the southeastern part of the state.

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, his appearance comes just as voting begins in our race.

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

If you care about holding this Senate seat and Democrats winning the Senate majority, I need you now.

Can you contribute $30, $50, or whatever you can afford to Tim Kaine and my campaign for Senate today? Do it before Trump's rally to prepare us for whatever comes next.
