This is U.S. Senator Ed Markey. My neck-and-neck election is in just 38
days.

I’m reaching out to ask you to support my campaign today, but first I hope
you will give me a chance to explain why this race and your $3 donation
are so important.

[ [link removed] ]If you already understand what’s at stake, then please go ahead and
make a $3 donation right now. Our movement needs grassroots support to
take on the big money that is trying to defeat us.

The PCCC said when they endorsed me, "Senator Markey was the first senator
to stand with AOC for a Green New Deal, one of the first elected leaders
to fight for Net Neutrality, and the first senator to publicly reject
campaign cash from the Fraternal Order of Police as they try to block
police reform."

In a moment of crisis for our country and our planet, Joe Kennedy III
decided to challenge me and risk setting back our progressive movement.

Kennedy has even said “[Ed] does an incredible job representing our
Commonwealth in the United States Senate." In 2018, when asked whether he
would challenge me, he said he had "a hard time understanding what those
circumstances would be" -- even saying that he was a "strong supporter" of
mine and “I expect that [Ed] will win."

Big-money forces are spending millions on TV ads to try to defeat me and
drown out our voices. Nonetheless, polling shows that our race is in a
dead heat -- well within the margin of error, and the momentum is on our
side.

But the only way we can win this race for progressives is with lots and
lots of small-dollar donations from people like you -- right now, to do
what we need to do in the final 38 days. That’s why I need to ask:

[ [link removed] ]Will you make a $3 contribution to my campaign to make sure we can
defeat big-money forces and keep this seat for progressives? Your donation
will send a powerful message about the strength of our progressive
movement.

Look, this is the toughest race I’ve ever faced. The political insiders
and pundits doubted us -- but it’s neck and neck. I’m proud to have the
PCCC, Elizabeth Warren, the Sunrise Movement, AOC, and countless other
progressives behind me.

I don’t back down from tough fights, and I know you don’t either. If this
grassroots army is behind us, then I know that we will defeat the
corporations and special interests that are so afraid of our ideas.

In solidarity,

-- Ed Markey
