John,

 

I woke up this morning to amazing news — we outraised my career politician opponent for the FOURTH straight time, and this time by more than $1 million. 

The next thing I saw? 

A fundraising email from my opponent (see below) claiming that our success was due to ‘special interests’ and Mitch McConnell. You and I know that’s not true. 

John, he couldn’t be more wrong. Our success is fueled by grassroots patriots like you — not special interests or big donors. Our average donation is only $31! 

Here’s the catch — our success has put a target on our backs and if we’re going to win in November, we need to outraise him in the final quarter before Election Day. 

That’s why I’m asking you to match our average donation of $31, and pledge to double it at midnight tomorrow. If you want to help us keep breaking fundraising, please match our average donation using the link below.

Thank you for your support. 

Let’s fly,

John James

Friend: Thanks to special interests and Mitch McConnell, our Trump-backed opponent just outraised us for the FOURTH quarter in a row. That means that for the past YEAR we’ve been outpaced on fundraising every step of the way – and with a recent poll showing this race TIED, losing in Michigan would make it nearly impossible for Democrats to take back the Senate.

 
That's because Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight reports Democrats have ZERO chance to flip the Senate if we lose in Michigan. And with President Trump, Mitch McConnell and the DeVos family funneling MILLIONS into this race, losing could be a real possibility.

So I’m going to tell it to you straight, friend: We CANNOT afford to keep being outraised. That's why my team set a rapid-response goal to raise $75,000 immediately to make up our shortfall, but right now we're falling short of what we need to win.

In a race this close, with the future of the Senate on the line, I'm counting on your immediate contribution: Will you make a contribution of $3 or more now – every dollar you can spare before midnight – to win in Michigan, take back Senate control and protect the future of the Supreme Court from Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump?

Coming up short isn’t an option. What we do now will determine whether Democrats take control of the Senate or Mitch McConnell gets at least two more years of power.

Senate control depends on you joining this fight, friend. Please, stand with me when I need you most.
