In a moment, I'm going to ask you to chip in $25 or more to my FEC end-of-quarter fundraising goal before the deadline hits at midnight tonight.

It's a critical opportunity for our grassroots campaign to show its strength as we head into the final stretch of this battleground race. But first, let me tell you what we're up against.

My right-wing extremist opponent has called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" and a "scam".

It's a dangerous, false claim to make about a life-saving program that millions of Americans rely on -- in our district alone, there are over a hundred thousand beneficiaries of Social Security.

Ives' words will turn into real harm if she succeeds in taking this seat. We can't allow that to happen -- so I'm asking you to be one of the 164 remaining grassroots donors we need to chip in before our FEC end-of-quarter fundraising deadline in less than 12 hours >>

Ives has the support of GOP Super PACs and Republican politicians like Ted Cruz -- I'm counting on supporters like you to make sure our campaign can compete.

Thank you,

Sean Casten
