I know you've been getting a lot of fundraising emails, friend, but the stakes in Pennsylvania's Senate race are very real – and I'm terrified that if I don't hit my $50,000 goal tonight to help my friend and colleague Bob Casey win, it could cost us our Democratic Senate majority.

That's why I've got to ask: Is there anything I can say that would convince you to split $5 between me and Bob Casey before my midnight deadline?

I was in Pennsylvania with Bob to talk to voters – and let me tell you, there is a lot of energy on the ground to make sure we send him back to the Senate. But right now, polls show Bob in a DEAD HEAT with his far-right opponent. That means GOP mega-donors are and will continue to pour endless money into the Keystone State to try and flip this seat.

I'm not kidding when I say Senate control could come down to this race, and Bob is counting on folks like you – not a personal fortune or massive Trump-aligned super PACs – to keep his seat blue.

And frankly, friend, I am too.

With our majority on the line, we can't afford to fall short of a single goal between now and Election Day. So please, will you chip in $5 or more to split between Bob and I to ensure I can reach my $50,000 goal, help stop Bob's filthy-rich Republican opponent, and keep the Senate blue?

We can't win this without you.

Thank you,

Patty Murray
