Friend, I need to address this.

Last night, far-right pundit Tucker Carlson used his Fox News program to spew vicious and dishonest attacks against my record of promoting racial justice – and my opponent Kelly Loeffler (R) doubled down by amplifying his remarks in a tweet.

Let's be clear: This brand of dog-whistle politics is nothing more than an effort to sow division, keep this seat red and protect McConnell's extremist majority.

But there's a reason they're coming after me. Even with Loeffler spending $20 million of her personal fortune to buy this seat, a NEW poll shows our people-powered movement surging – and The Washington Post says Democrats' chances of taking back the Senate hinge on whether or not we win in Georgia.

So now, Mitch McConnell is lining up the full backing of the GOP establishment to FLOOD this race with millions to keep this seat red, and I can't fight back without your immediate grassroots support.

We need to raise another $9,384 by midnight to defeat my extremist opponent and retake Senate control – but with just hours until our critical deadline, we're still falling incredibly short. We've only got 42 days left to save our democracy – so please, friend, I'm personally asking:

Will you give $5 or more right now – as much as you can spare – to help us fight back against Republican attacks, flip Georgia blue and take back the Senate for Democrats?

Thanks, friend. I'm proud to have you on this team.
