Hey folks,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just checked in with Cecilia and our finance team. It sounds like we just barely missed hitting our goal of 20,000 donations by midnight last night.

Let me explain why this particular goal was so important. The reality is that the Democratic establishment doesn't spend on Southern races like ours. They say Mississippi isn’t a battleground state. Well, I believe they’re wrong.

Reaching our goal of 20,000 grassroots online donations will prove to party leaders — and prove to Cindy Hyde-Smith —  that our campaign has what it takes to WIN on Election Day.

So I am determined to hit that 20,000 number. We can do it!

Will you please chip in as little as $5 (or more if you can) and have a direct impact in making one of the very final 97 donations we need?

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

When I think about what’s been done to our campaign from the party elites in Washington, I know they’re overlooking this Mississippi possibility.

And with less than seven weeks to go until Election Day, it’s imperative that we hit every goal we set so that our team has what it takes to get out the vote across Mississippi in the final 47 days of this race for Mississippi’s future.

I appreciate each and every thing you do to support my campaign for the U.S. Senate.
