My friend and colleague Gary Peters of Michigan is one of just two Democratic incumbent senators running in states that President Trump won in 2016 (the other is Doug Jones in Alabama). As FiveThirtyEight has noted, Republicans see an upset in Michigan as key to Mitch McConnell's efforts to hold the majority in the Senate even if they lose elsewhere.
That’s why Republicans are going all out to help their extreme Trump-supporting candidate John James, including fundraising support from Donald Trump Jr., a visit to Michigan from President Trump himself and a massive infusion of money to a Super PAC targeting Peters from the wealthy family of Betsy DeVos — one of Michigan's wealthiest clans.
And that’s why The Washington Post has reported that Gary Peters has faced among the most well-financed attacks of any senator or senator candidate in the country. Gary needs help fighting back and is facing a critical campaign fundraising deadline. He needs our help now.
We can’t let Trump and McConnell win in Michigan. Donate here to help Gary Peters before his critical July 15th pre-filing deadline and support our efforts to help Democrats win the Senate from Mitch McConnell!
If you’ve stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Gary Peters and Chris Van Hollen will process immediately. |
Now that President Trump’s poll numbers are sinking, Gary's opponent is trying hard to distance himself from the White House.
We can't let Michigan voters be fooled by these antics. Betsy DeVos and Trump's big money special interests are funding the attack ads against Peters — that says it all.
The stakes are too high in Michigan to leave anything to chance. Please rush a donation now to help Gary Peters fight back against these GOP attacks and help us win a majority in the Senate.
Thank you for all that you do,
Chris
