Friend, I have some tough news, and I wanted you to hear it directly from me: A recent poll shows me losing ground to my MAGA opponent, Bernie Moreno.

With less than one week until early voting starts, I urgently need your support to fight back. That's why my team and I set a rapid-response goal to raise $500,000 in 48 hours, and I'm counting on you to help us reach it. Will you please chip in $5 now to split between my campaign and Tim Kaine to help power us to victory?

My Trump-backed opponent has already spent $4.5 million of his own personal fortune to try to buy this seat – and the GOP is spending record-breaking amounts to flip this seat red. If we don't fight back ASAP, I'm worried we won't have the resources to mount a comeback before Election Day.

Unlike my ultra-wealthy opponent, I can't write myself million-dollar checks. I'm running a true grassroots campaign, which means I'm counting on folks chipping in $5 or $25 to help get us across the finish line.

So please, friend, I'm personally asking: Will you chip in $5, $25, or whatever you’re able to split between my campaign and Tim Kaine so that we can reach our rapid-response goal, pull ahead in this race, and win?
