Friend,

Four years ago, Donald Trump won Michigan by only a few thousand votes -- and immediately, Democrats here got to work. Thanks to a swell of grassroots support, two years later we made massive progress with victories across Michigan.

And now once again, our battleground state of Michigan is in the spotlight as all eyes turn here to re-elect Senator Gary Peters. And this race couldn’t be more important -- analysts at CBS News are reporting that Democrats can’t win the Senate majority if we don’t first win here in Michigan.

Here’s the bad news: far-right billionaires like Betsy DeVos’ family are trying to buy Michigan’s Senate seat, and now Gary’s officially been outraised for a full year straight. That’s four quarters in a row of the GOP dumping millions of dollars to try and defeat Gary -- and if they succeed, we can say goodbye to the future of the Supreme Court and hello to at least two more years of Mitch McConnell calling the shots in Washington.

Gary is up against his final quarterly fundraising deadline before Election Day, so he reached out to ask me if I could help him close the gap on his $200,000 goal -- and right now, we’re still falling $104,293 short. Can you chip in $5 (or whatever you can) to make sure Gary doesn’t get outraised again so we can send him back to the Senate?
