Friend - I've seen a lot of tough elections in my time, but nothing has surprised me more than the political upset we saw in the Midwest in 2016.
People assumed states like Michigan and Wisconsin were safely blue. But after Election Day, when all was said and done, Trump carried the Midwest and won the presidency, and Republicans held onto their Wisconsin Senate seat - and the Senate majority.
We simply cannot let this happen again this year in Michigan. If we're going to win this seat and take back the Senate for Democrats, we CANNOT afford to let our Trump-backed opponent continue to outraise us - especially with a new poll showing us down by nearly 2 points.
Can I count on you to contribute $3 or more now - every dollar you can spare to help me hit my rapid-response goal of $50,000 by midnight - to win in Michigan, take back the Senate for Democrats and protect the future of the Supreme Court?

Here's the truth, friend: The only chance we have at protecting affordable health care, fixing our climate crisis and helping small businesses get back on their feet is if Democrats win back the Senate majority. But Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight says Democrats have ZERO chance of taking back the Senate if we lose in Michigan.
And right now, after being outraised all cycle long, we're up against an onslaught of attack ads thanks to Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and the DeVos family funneling in millions of dollars to buy this seat for the GOP.
RealClearPolitics just moved this race from "Leans Dem" to "Toss-Up" - and CNN just said Michigan is one of the TOP seats most likely to flip parties in November.
What we do in moments like this will decide whether we become victim to another political upset like in 2016, or whether we're the race that wins back the Senate majority. I know which side of history I'm determined to be on. What about you, friend?
If you're with me, I have a simple request: Pitch in a donation of $3 or more now - whatever you can spare - to help me hit my rapid-response goal of $50,000 by midnight tonight. Every single dollar will help us fight back against these right-wing attacks, win in Michigan to take back the Senate and protect the future of the Supreme Court. Can you give right now?

Thanks for being on this team. Together, I'm confident we can protect Michigan's Senate seat and win back the Senate majority.
