Friend – With time running short before our most important FEC fundraising deadline, I'm asking for 1 minute of your time. My team just let me know that we're still 16.8% short of our goal with just hours left before midnight.

This couldn’t happen at a worse moment: Larry Hogan’s super PAC just placed a massive $18 million ad blitz to defeat me, and now polling shows I’m TIED with control of the Senate on the line.  

If we fall short at this critical moment, our chances of winning and defending the Senate majority will go into freefall. We cannot afford to miss this goal, so I’m urgently asking: Will you rush $25 (becomes $50) or more before midnight to help me make up this shortfall before the official FEC deadline and defend our Senate majority? A generous group of donors has agreed to match all donations to our campaign received before tonight’s deadline, so I need you to take advantage of this opportunity before it’s too late.

I know you've heard from just about everyone about the importance of us defending our narrow Senate majority from Republicans. But if we don’t hit our FEC fundraising goal, there won’t be a Democratic Senate majority to defend if we lose in Maryland.

And I refuse to let that happen, because I believe in our people-powered movement. 

Hogan may have an $18 million dollar super PAC that he hopes will buy him this election, but he underestimated the power of this grassroots team. 

Grassroots support is the only thing that can tip the scales in this election and ensure that we win in Maryland and defend our Senate majority. So trust me when I say that every dollar truly matters in a race this close. 

Please, friend, if you care about defending our Democratic Senate majority, rush $25 (becomes $50) to help me make up my fundraising gap before tonight's fundraising deadline so we can keep Maryland and the Senate blue!

Whatever you can give helps, folks.
