I’ll be honest: I don’t like to send fundraising emails.

I would rather tell you about the bold Democrats we're backing like Annie Andrews in South Carolina and James Talarico in Texas — leaders with the courage to stand up to Trump instead of standing by.

But look, I have no other choice. Here’s why:

1. Flipping the House and Senate this November is within reach — but only if we can keep pace with what Republicans are spending to stop us.

2. Trump's super PAC has $400 MILLION behind it and is hosting fundraisers with $1 MILLION tickets to buy the midterms.

3. We don't have that kind of money waiting in the wings. What we have is grassroots donors like you. Seriously — the overwhelming majority of our funding comes from gifts like the one we're asking you for today.

My team set an ambitious goal of raising $10,000 every day to stay on track, and honestly, we’re still coming up $3,097 short. If we’re going to make up the difference and give our candidates the resources they need to win, we need Democrats like you to step up and pitch in.

So please, rush a split donation of whatever you can between Back the Bold and Hold the Line today. Every dollar gets us one step closer to electing leaders with the courage to fight back and ending Donald Trump’s reign of terror!

Thanks for being a part of this fight,

Adam Kinzinger
