Hey John, 

Last night, I took the stage for the first debate of our race for U.S. Senate, so I wanted to send you a quick note asking for your help.

Debates are important moments in any campaign, and especially so with less than a month to go before Election Day. Key moments from last night included reminding voters of Mike Rogers’ 20-year record as an elected official – including his votes to gut Social Security and Medicare, sharing my vision for protecting and expanding Michigan’s middle class, and calling out Mike Rogers for his anti-choice record. 

And while I am confident the debate went well for us, debates alone don't win elections.

Winning takes a team.

And the most important thing we need right now to ensure victory is the resources to reach the undecided and persuadable voters who may not have been watching last night.

So if holding this Senate seat and making sure Democrats win in Michigan this November is important to you, I am asking you to make a contribution to Blue Battleground Project and my campaign today.

Thank you again for your continued support. It meant a lot to me as I prepared for last night and as we go forward to the second debate in another week!
