We got an alarming polling update today, John, and I wanted you to be the first to know:

Eric Hovde has officially taken the lead for the first time in public polling — a brand new poll from Trafalgar shows me down by one point, 49-48.

This moment has been building up for months. He and his Republican allies launched a $80 million ad blitz to close the polling gap and buy this seat, and they’ve never been closer to succeeding.

I don’t mean to be alarmist, John, but we’re running out of time to fight back.

Republicans are outspending us on the airwaves, early voting is underway, and all signs show my self-funding megamillionaire opponent surging.

This incredible grassroots team has helped me defy the odds before, but I’m going to need more supporters chipping in and standing with me now than ever in order to defend this crucial Senate seat.

So, will you split an urgent donation between Cory Booker and my campaign to help me close the polling gap to my right-wing opponent and win this toss up race? Democrats cannot defend the Senate majority if we lose Wisconsin.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Tammy Baldwin and Cory Booker will go through immediately:

Thanks for being a part of this team.

— Tammy

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)
