John,

After a brand-new poll showed me TIED with my opponent Republican Deb Fischer here in Nebraska’s Senate race, Mitch McConnell and his Super PACs spent over $13.1 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 air more of our own ads for the final days, even though we don’t technically have all the money in our budget to do so.

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 $150,000 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 $150,000 before our FINAL fundraising deadline of the entire campaign at midnight tonight, close our budget gap, and ensure our new ads can keep running.

I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money. Instead, I’m relying entirely on people like you to fund my campaign. Please, will you rush a donation to my campaign right now – every dollar you can afford – to keep our ads on the air, defeat Republican Deb Fischer, and win this Senate seat?

Thank you for everything you do to power this campaign,

Dan
