Friend,

When people say to me there’s no way Trump will win again, I immediately think of this headline from four years ago:

Like so many of us do, I wonder: What might have happened differently on November 8, 2016, if so many powerful voices hadn’t assured Americans that Trump was destined to lose?

Just like when this article went to press, we’re facing two starkly different futures for our country, with just months left until Election Day. A second Trump term and control of the Senate are on the line here in Michigan. Yet my opponent has still managed to outraise us for an entire YEAR.

We can’t take anything for granted. So I’m asking you point-blank: Can you step up right now to help power our campaign so we don’t lose in Michigan again?

The White House, the Senate and the future of the Supreme Court are all on the line in Michigan. I can’t win this reelection fight without you. Can you chip in $3 or more right now to help us reach our $75,000 rapid response goal? We’re falling short.

When we say all these institutions are on the line, here’s what we’re really talking about: Good middle-class jobs. Access to affordable health care. Quality education in our schools. Action on climate change and protecting the environment. Our futures.

I’m committed to defending and fighting for each of these issues because I know it improves lives in Michigan and across America. My opponent -- who stands with Trump “2000%” -- is not. That’s why I’m determined to win this election.

I’m no stranger to tough fights, but I’ll be honest; this race is different than any other I’ve faced. Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and Betsy DeVos’ family have already funneled millions of dollars into Michigan to defeat me. And now we know that my opponent has outraised us four quarters in a row.

To them, I say: Bring it on. Because here’s what I’ve got that they can never have -- you.

You’re what makes this team incredible, friend: Together we’re creating an unstoppable team that will win this race and help get Washington working for the people again. But I need your help immediately, so I’m asking you now: Will you donate $3 – or whatever you can chip in to defend Michigan’s Senate seat – so we can win this reelection and take back the Senate for Democrats?

I can’t thank you enough for fighting this tough fight that will have an impact on all of us. Together, we can make a difference.

Take care,

Gary
