It's Michael Bennet. I spent the weekend in Wisconsin campaigning for my friend, Senator Tammy Baldwin — and I wanted to make sure you could hear directly from her about her frontline race. Her message (and a picture from this weekend) is below:

Friend — I have bad news, and I wanted you to hear it directly from me:

Cook Political Report just DOWNGRADED our Senate race to a “TOSS UP.”

If Republicans flip Wisconsin red, they’ll take back control of the Senate. Before I explain more, will you split an urgent donation between Michael Bennet and my campaign to help us fight back and keep this seat blue?

My megamillionaire opponent is trying to buy this Senate seat, and all signs indicate that his strategy is well on its way to working.

After countless polls found this race statistically tied, the election experts at Cook Political agree that Wisconsin’s Senate race could go either way.

Let me be clear: Democrats cannot protect the Senate majority if we lose this seat. Republicans know what’s at stake, which is why they’ve thrown everything but the kitchen sink at our campaign to try and flip this seat red.

Eric Hovde and his GOP allies are currently outspending us on the air, flooding Wisconsin with more than $62 million worth of ads, and their ad blitz is clearly moving the needle among voters.

If Republicans keep up this pace, they’ll continue to build momentum, inch ahead in the polls, and flip the seat that could determine control of the Senate in November. That’s why I’m counting on you today:

Will you rush a split donation to help me defend Wisconsin’s Senate seat and our Democratic Senate majority? Every single dollar counts in this toss up race.

Thanks for having my back today.

— Tammy
