Team,

There were a few public polls published today that have Joe behind Ed Markey in the Senate race. Since day one, we’ve fully expected this race to come down to the wire — and our internal numbers show this race neck-and-neck with Joe trending in the right direction and gaining momentum in the final stretch.

This race was always going to come down to which campaign could best get out the vote (GOTV). That’s why we’re asking our grassroots supporters to rush a $3 or $25 contribution to our GOTV Fund to make sure we can finish these last six days strong.

There are a lot of loud voices out there that are fine with the status quo, team. To them, it matters less that Massachusetts has a Senator who shows up, so long as they file the right bills and cast the right votes. But what we are finding in community after community is that people are ready for a whole lot more from their U.S. Senator. They are ready for new leadership that will fight for them as hard as they fight for their families. And when people hear Joe’s message, and his passion for them, they are excited to vote for him.

That’s why despite facing tough odds this month, we’re seeing tremendous momentum in our direction this last week, from Joe’s final debate performance, to a key endorsement from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to some long overdue public accountability for the toxic behavior of many Markey supporters, on and offline. But we can’t let up the fight. We’ve come too far, and we’re way too close. That’s why as Joe’s campaign manager, I am personally asking you to pitch in a contribution right now.

Here’s what I know: If Joe is elected our Senator, he won’t only show up around election time. He will fight for you every single day he’s in office. He will give it everything he has. But first, we need to get him elected. We need to fight for him.

With the race neck-and-neck, the final result is going to come down to which campaign can best GOTV. Will you rush a donation right now that will go straight to our GOTV Fund?

Thanks for everything. We will win this fight. Onward!
