Friend: My extreme opponent outraised me for a FIFTH consecutive reporting period thanks to Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and Betsy DeVos funneling MILLIONS into Michigan to defeat me.

That’s why I’m asking for your help – but first, I’d like to explain why it’s so important we defend Michigan’s Democratic Senate seat. 

With a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the stakes have never been higher. If we lose here, Democrats will throw away our only chance of taking back the Senate. That means two more years of Mitch McConnell calling the shots in Washington.

I've won tough elections before, and I'm all in to do it again this time around. But a brand-new poll shows me behind my far-right opponent, and analysts at The Washington Post rank me as one of the most targeted Democratic senators in the country.  

The good news is Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight reports Democrats can flip the Senate, but only if we first win in Michigan.  

So with the future of the Senate and the Supreme Court on the line, in a race this close, every dollar could be the difference between winning and losing. We set a goal to raise another $200,000 before our final FEC quarterly filing deadline to win in Michigan and take back the Senate for Democrats -- but right now we're still $91,351 short. I'd appreciate it if you could give now, even just $3, to help us hit this goal and win.

Here's the best link to donate – whatever you give will go toward keeping Michigan blue and taking back the Senate for Democrats: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/peters_email

Thank you,
