Friend,
Democrats only need to pick up four seats to free the Senate from Mitch McConnell – and Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight says it will likely all come down to Mark Kelly's race in Arizona. That means we need to do whatever it takes to make sure Mark flips this crucial red seat blue.
Just as importantly, Mark is an extraordinary candidate and public servant. As an engineer, an astronaut, and a U.S. Navy captain, Mark will be a fierce leader in the Senate – one who will work tirelessly to solve the challenges we're facing and actually get things done for the American people.
But Mark got outraised by his GOP opponent in the most recent FEC fundraising report, and right now, he urgently needs to close a $20,000 fundraising gap before midnight tonight to keep his campaign on track. With Senate control riding on whether or not Mark wins this critical race, I'm personally asking you to rush your support to his campaign right away:
Mitch McConnell and his special-interest allies know that Arizona is one of Democrats' best opportunities to pick up a Senate seat. That's why McConnell's super PAC just dumped $10.6 million into Arizona to flood the airwaves with attack ads against Mark, and the NRA just added another $100,000 toward attack ads of their own – all to make sure this seat stays in GOP control.
There's no question that Mark can win this race, but it's going to take every bit of grassroots support from people like you to fight back against this onslaught of GOP attacks. So please, I'm counting on you to step up with an immediate donation:
Rush $5 or more now – every dollar you can spare before midnight – to make sure Mark Kelly has the resources to defeat the GOP in Arizona, break Mitch McConnell's stranglehold on the Senate majority and put a stop to Donald Trump's dangerous agenda.

Thank you so much for doing your part in such a critical fight.
