John, here’s the situation:

Every dollar we raise between now and midnight will help decide how much we can spend on the air in battleground states like Maine, Ohio, Georgia, Michigan and North Carolina.

If everyone reading this chips in, we’ll hit our $10,000 goal in no time. That’s why I’m asking you directly: Can you chip in $1 for each battleground state — $5 total — before midnight to help take back the Senate?

If we’re going to flip the Senate, we need to defend all of our vulnerable Democrats and flip every competitive seat. That’s why we’ve set a goal of raising $10,000 more before midnight.

If we fall short, Republicans will see it as a green light to flood these states with even more dark-money ads and smear campaigns. They’ve already booked airtime, lined up big fundraisers and have the resources to pour MILLIONS into flipping these seats.

But if we close this gap before midnight, it sends a message they can’t ignore — that grassroots Democrats are organized, energized and ready to fight for every voter and every inch of ground.

So this is it. The last hours before midnight. The final sprint before Republicans flood the field.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to donate — this is it.

Let’s finish strong — together.
