I've got to be honest, friend: Our Senate race is heating up big time – and as a veteran of competitive races, I'm 100% in to win this thing. But I need your help, and I hope you'll let me explain why. 

Super PACs and a dark-money group are attacking me – more than any other Democrat in the entire country. And we just learned that the DeVos family's super PAC has committed nearly 1 million dollars to defeat me. You read that right: another $1 million, just like that.

With Senate control hinging on what happens here in Michigan, the stakes have never been higher. That's why I'm reaching out to ask for support ahead of our campaign's most important goal. But first, I want to tell you why – now more than ever – it's so important for Democrats to take back the Senate.

Losing in Michigan doesn't just mean that another rubber stamp for Donald Trump will enter the Senate. It means two more years of Mitch McConnell calling the shots in Washington – putting our Supreme Court, the Affordable Care Act and so much more in jeopardy.

The GOP's game plan is centered around flipping Michigan red, because they know Democrats cannot take back the Senate if I lose.

I'm no stranger to tough elections. I've always fought hard to win, and I'm all in to do it again. But my hard-right opponent outraised us three times in a row, and recent polling shows us statistically tied.

With analysts at The Washington Post ranking me as one of the most targeted Democratic senators in the country, missing our goal again would be another huge blow to this campaign.

Friend, with a Democratic Senate majority only possible if I win in Michigan, our fundraising is falling $8,513 short of where we need to be today. 

So with Senate control at stake, your donation could be the difference between winning and losing. Friend, I'm asking: With just hours left until our midnight deadline, will you pitch in? I'd be beyond grateful.
