You've probably heard a million times now, friend – but POLITICO wasn't kidding when they reported Democrats were facing the "Senate map from hell."

Since Republicans only need to flip one or two seats to win control of the Senate, we need all hands on deck to win where we can and save our fragile Democratic majority – and Florida's Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Texas' Colin Allred may be our best hopes for keeping the Senate blue.

Before I continue further, if you already agree they've got what it takes to win their races, then please, split a gift of $5 or more between the three of us now to help save our razor-thin Senate majority.

Debbie and Colin are up against some of the most extreme, out-of-touch GOP Senators, Rick Scott and Ted Cruz. Between Rick's efforts to end Social Security, or Ted's abandonment of Texans during a winter storm to sunbathe in Cancún, it’s no wonder neither of them won their last elections by more than a point or two – or that CNN ranked them the most vulnerable Republicans on the map.

From trying to rip away reproductive freedom to tax breaks for their wealthy friends, Texas and Florida voters have had it up to HERE with their far-right, out-of-touch leaders – and they're ready to get behind someone new.

Recent polls show this as clear as day: Debbie and Colin are NECK-AND-NECK with their opponents!

The only problem is resources – because the GOP is watching, too. 

From the massive personal fortune Scott's funneling to his campaign to the Big Oil donations propping up Cruz, and the national GOP megadonors flooding the airwaves with attack ads to save them both, Debbie and Colin's only hope of success is with help from grassroots Democrats across the country. Dedicated folks like you, friend.

That's why I set a $50,000 fundraising goal to ensure they have the cash to retire their GOP opponents and save our Senate majority, friend – but I can't close the last 19% gap by midnight tonight without you.

So please, will you step up with a split donation of $5, $25, or anything by 11:59 p.m. to help me reach this goal, give Debbie and Colin the boost they need to win, and help all three of us keep the Senate blue?

Thank you – none of this happens without you.
