Hi John — If it’s anything like mine, I can only assume your inbox is full of requests from campaigns like mine trying to earn your support.

And I’m guessing you didn’t wake up today thinking, “today’s the day I’m going to donate to Tammy’s reelection campaign!” But I hope you’ll give me a chance to make the case.

Republicans have engaged in an all out ad blitz to flip my seat red. Eric Hovde and the dark money super PACs supporting him have poured tens of millions of dollars into this race to defeat me.

If they flip Wisconsin red, they’ll take back our Senate majority. And then, a national abortion ban, cuts to Social Security and Medicare, a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and so much more will be on the table.

Wisconsin is shaping up to be THE tipping point state that will decide control of the Senate, and our race has quickly become one of the most expensive and competitive in the country.

As poll after poll shows a statistically tied race, it’s urgent that we fight back against the Republican attacks I’m facing with ads of our own to set the record straight.

But these ad reservations don’t come cheap, and I don’t have the same luxury of dipping into a personal fortune to fund this campaign like my megamillionaire opponent can. That’s why I’m counting on your grassroots support today.

With the election swiftly approaching, if you are ready to make a difference and help us defend our Democratic Senate majority, now’s the time, John.

Can I count on you to split a donation between Fight for Progress and my reelection campaign today to help us finish off strong? Your donation today will go directly towards helping us defend Wisconsin’s Senate seat and our Democratic Senate majority.

Thank you for being a part of this team.

— Tammy
