Hello —

I really need to explain what’s happening in our race, because we need your help more than ever before. Here it goes:

Yesterday morning a new poll came out showing a close, single-digit race against Cory Gardner — the tightest margin we’ve seen since Republican groups unleashed a devastating $9 million attack campaign against me.

We cannot risk the Democrats’ best chance to take back the Senate because we got outspent or outworked by right-wing organizations bankrolled by Mitch McConnell.

Gardner’s campaign has double the cash-on-hand than ours, and I’m sure the Koch network is gearing up for another round of nasty attacks designed to sink this race further. We need your help now to make sure we’re ready for them:

If you can afford to give, please rush a contribution of $10 or more before Friday’s fundraising deadline. Any amount makes a huge difference in helping our team fight back against these attacks:

We are 97 days away from this election. I can’t believe it myself. But I am telling you that we are the best shot Democrats have to flip a Senate seat, and we can’t give that up.

That’s why your donation is so important, and why I am personally counting on you to pitch in what you can today.

Thanks for all you do.
