Hello. It's Elissa Slotkin.

I acknowledge there's a very good chance you didn't wake up this morning and think "I am going to make a contribution to Elissa Slotkin today." I get it.

But that is what I am asking you to do.

I am one of a small number of Democratic Senators who won their race at the same time Donald Trump won that state. Over the final few weeks of the campaign, I am going to do my best to travel and help Democrats in tough campaign ... especially in the midwest.

Here in Michigan, we also have an open Senate seat, a governor's race and a number of other close races. I know how to find voters in so-called "red' areas and can help make the difference -- something that will be important after some tough primaries.

If making sure Democrats have a chance of retaking the Senate, the House and supporting candidates in tough races is important to you, I am asking you to make a contribution before the final quarterly FEC fundraising deadline of the campaign to help make that happen.

Thank you. - Elissa
