We got an alarming polling update, folks, and I wanted to make sure you saw:

Eric Hovde has officially taken the lead for the first time in public polling.

This moment has been building up for months. He and his Republican allies launched a $100 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, friend, 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 a donation between Blue Senate's Candidate Fund 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.

Thanks for being a part of this team.
