Hello --

In just a moment, we are going to ask you to make a contribution to Governor Bullock's Senate campaign. We hope you'll give us a chance to explain why this request -- especially today -- is so important.

Here's the truth: this week, a new poll showed our opponent, Steve Daines, ahead by 6%.

Then, we watched in shock as Washington Republicans booked another $6 million in attack ads targeted at our campaign.

The good news is, we actually outraised Daines in the last reporting period -- but it appears outside groups bankrolled by Mitch McConnell's corporate donor network are trying to pick up his slack.

We know the polls are going to go up and down. Some days we'll be up. Others we'll be down. And we know this race is going to be a fight to the finish, especially with so much outside spending. So we're going to need a lot of people making individual donations to fight back and win:

Can you make a contribution of $10 or more to our campaign before our mid-FEC deadline next week? This is important. Without your support, we won't have the resources to need to respond to these attacks and win this election come November:

Remember that every donation sends a message that it's possible to run and win our campaign the right way: focused on the issues that matter and without taking any money from corporate PACs.

Thanks for all you do.
