Hello —

In just a moment, I will ask you to add a donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate before our mid-month deadline expires next week. Please give me a quick moment to explain why this request is so important, especially today.

As you know, Donald Trump Jr. was in Minnesota yesterday. He follows visits to our state from his father, Mike Pence, and his own sister. These are the Trump campaign’s latest attempts to shore up right-wing support in a state that could be a “pick-up opportunity” for Republicans, and it’s a move straight out of the GOP’s successful playbook.

But the Republicans aren’t just bringing in the big guns, they’re bringing in the big bucks, too. On top of the Trump campaign spending more than $14 million to flip Minnesota red, we just found out Citizens United (a GOP dark money group!) has jumped into our race with a TV ad blitz totaling nearly $400,000.

The GOP plan to win Minnesota is working. Two consecutive polls show us locked in a statistical tie with our right-wing extremist opponent. And with the Republican attack machine breaking fundraising records left and right, the only way we will have a fighting chance in this election is by collecting as many grassroots donations as possible.

Will you rush an urgent donation of $5 or more to help us fight back right now? We can’t let Trump and dark money groups swoop in at the last second and flip our state red. Donate right here:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Every donation matters to me personally, and it's so great knowing I have supporters like you to count on in moments like these. It’s on each and every one of us to make sure we go into the final weeks of this election in a strong position.

Anything you give today will go a long way toward helping us stop Trump from turning Minnesota red and flipping my Senate seat. Thank you.
