I have some disturbing news:

Shady special interest groups, top GOP leadership, and my opponent just teamed up to buy $244,955 of TV airtime for THIS WEEK alone.

That’s $34,993 worth of ads a day.

I am the most vulnerable Democrat in Congress and they are hellbent on defeating me.

I only have until 10am tomorrow to raise $34,993 to counter their attacks. So I’m asking: Will you rush me $5?

At this very moment, voters watching CNN, Food Network, and the local news are being pummeled with attack ads aimed squarely at me.

I can’t overstate how important your support is. I don’t have the dark money network my GOP opponent relies on.

And if I let these ads go unanswered, I will lose this race. It is just that simple.

The next 36 hours will determine if I can fight back. So I’m humbly asking:

Can you rush $5 now so I can match their spending and WIN this neck and neck race?

I refuse to surrender this seat to the GOP.

They think if they just keep pouring money into this race they will crush us.

But I believe in the power of grassroots donors like you. We won this Republican stronghold once, and we can do it again.

I need you to chip in $5 now and I know we can catch up:

Thank you for your immediate response,

TJ
