John,
After five brand-new polls showed me LEADING my opponent Republican Deb Fischer here in Nebraska’s Senate race, Mitch McConnell and his Super PACs spent over $12.8 million on TV ads attacking me.
Fischer and McConnell are absolutely blanketing the state with TV ads, attacking me with ridiculous lies. We have an opportunity to win Nebraska’s Senate seat – but only if we can counter the lies and match them on the air.
That’s why I just made a very difficult decision and told my campaign we could begin airing more of our own TV ads, even though we don’t technically have all the money in our budget to do so just yet.
We’re taking this risk because we have to. Nebraska is now the closest Senate race in the entire country according to experts at FiveThirtyEight. So I made an executive decision and took the bet that grassroots donors like you would come through and help us fill our $500,000 budget gap…
We need to do everything we can if we’re going to win this Senate seat and elect a blue-collar worker to be the 51st vote in the U.S. Senate. That means taking a few risks.
But if we're going to defeat Republican Deb Fischer and win this Senate seat, I’m counting on grassroots donors like you to help raise another $500,000 before our final TV ad buy deadline at midnight tomorrow, close our budget gap, and ensure our new TV ads can keep running.

There are going to be a few more hard spending decisions like this between now and Election Day. I hope I can count on you every step of the way.
Thank you for everything you do to power this campaign,
Dan
