Hi friend, I wanted to take a moment and reach out to you about my husband Gary.

First of all, from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you for being a part of this team to help Gary win in Michigan. It means the world to have you fighting so hard alongside us. I don't need to tell you that this race is one of the biggest in the entire country — even Donald Trump himself is focused on winning in Michigan and defeating Gary.

The other day, President Trump personally attacked Gary, calling him a "Do-nothing Democrat." Now, the president is known for two things: his nicknames and his lies. But he doesn't know a thing about my husband. I want to tell you exactly who Gary Peters is:

He's the Senator who fights tirelessly for workers and small businesses. He’s the public servant pushing for quality, affordable health care coverage where insurance companies can no longer discriminate because of pre-existing conditions. And as a product of Michigan’s public schools, Gary has always fought for students and has continued to give them the tools they need to reach their full potential.

That's my husband – he's a fighter. For Michigan and our country. But right now, he's in the midst of his toughest election ever.  

The stakes of this race have never been higher. Another two years of a Republican-held Senate means two more years of Mitch McConnell calling the shots in Washington. That means he and Donald Trump will team up to put more extremist justices like Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, and you can bet they’ll keep trying to dismantle protections for those with preexisting conditions.

My husband's been in tough election fights before, and he's all in to do it again. Believe me, Gary's going to fight tooth and nail to defend this Senate seat – but I'm making a personal ask for you to invest in this fight, too. 

Gary's up against the likes of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and nearly $1 million in dark money from the DeVos family, all vying to buy this seat for the GOP. That's why I'm reaching out to you today. 

His team told me we need to raise another $7,500 by midnight, but right now, we're not quite there. Please, will you consider making a contribution to reelect my husband Gary, win in Michigan and take back the Senate for Democrats?

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Now let's go win this thing.
