Friend,

We've always known that Michigan could determine whether Mitch McConnell retains control of the Senate. But now there's no denying it: Both CBS News and Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight report that if we lose, Democrats will have ZERO chance to take back the Senate.

Everything from the Supreme Court to protecting affordable health care is riding on Senate control, and that's why shady right-wing special interests – led by Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and the DeVos family – have funneled millions of dollars into Michigan to try and flip this seat. 

I’m not backing down without a fight, friend. No matter what Republicans throw at me, I’ll never stop working for Michigan’s families. But the thing is, after all the right-wing money that's been spent against me, recent polling now shows this race tied. 

With my Trump-backed opponent and his allies launching endless attack ads against me, we could very well lose if we're forced to pull down our own ads. If we fall short of tonight's end-of-quarter FEC goal, our MOST important deadline of the campaign, we simply won't be able to keep our TV ads on the air. And with polling tied and my right-wing opponent flush with cash, we cannot afford for that to happen.

Can I count on you to help us close our $4,700 fundraising gap by midnight? Rush a donation of $3 or more now – whatever you can spare – to help keep our ads on the air, defend Michigan's Senate seat and take back the Senate for Democrats!

Together, I know we have what it takes to win in Michigan. But I also know we can't do that without you, friend.

Thanks for fighting by my side,

Gary
