Friend --

Republican dark money donors in Michigan have their eyes on my colleague Senator Gary Peters, who is up for reelection this fall.

In fact, in Michigan alone, Republican super PACs and other dark money groups, in addition to Trump-endorsed Republican challenger John James, have spent almost $4.5 million to try to unseat Senator Peters.

The DeVos family (yes, that DeVos family) has committed nearly a million dollars to a super PAC to defeat Senator Peters.

And earlier this month, the National Republican Senatorial Committee launched an ad campaign against him.

The forces gathering against Senator Peters are growing and well-funded, and he must be prepared to fight back against the incoming Republican attacks. Democrats have a real shot at taking back the Senate this year but only if we're able to hold essential Democratic seats, like Senator Peters'.

Please donate today, before his big end-of-quarter fundraising deadline, to support Michigan Senator Gary Peters' reelection campaign so he has the funds to counter the onslaught of Republican attack ads.

As we saw in 2016, no election can be taken for granted in Michigan. Thank you for your support during this crucial election.

Sincerely,

Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
