Hi, friend, I’m reaching out to you about my husband, Gary.

First and foremost, thank you. You have been an inspiration to this team and we know that we can’t win in Michigan without your help. With Donald Trump zeroing in on Michigan – and trying to buy this Senate seat for his handpicked candidate – we couldn't be more grateful you're fighting by our side.

But thanks to President Trump and his allies like the DeVos family, Gary’s opponent is both outraising and outspending us. Gary’s being relentlessly attacked with lies every hour of the day, with Mitch McConnell’s dark-money group spending $4.5 million on attack ads alone. 

To make matters worse, Gary’s opponent just appeared at the Republican National Convention, which will undoubtedly result in building up his fundraising advantage even more.

The stakes of this race have never been higher. We cannot afford two more years of Mitch McConnell standing in the way of progress for our families. And we simply cannot handle more extremist Supreme Court justices like Brett Kavanaugh – or more attempts to dismantle protections for those with preexisting conditions.

That’s why I'm reaching out to tell you the tough news: Gary is more urgently in need of your help than ever before because a new poll has this race statistically tied.

Gary has always been and continues to be a fighter. He puts working people and small businesses first. He understands working families need someone who advocates for affordable health care, for quality education so students can reach their full potential and for a Postal Service that serves each community in Michigan and across the country.

But Gary’s team just let me know that we’re falling dangerously short of our $7,500 midnight fundraising goal – and we need to make up the difference immediately or risk handing Michigan over to Trump. I know you can help get us back on track to close this gap and win big.

Please, will you make a contribution to reelect my husband Gary, win in Michigan and end Mitch McConnell's hold on the Senate? Here’s the best link to keep Michigan blue and flip the Senate for Democrats: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/peters_email

This isn’t just Michigan on the line – it’s the future of the Senate, the Joe Biden presidency and our entire country that rests squarely on our shoulders.

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

Colleen
