Friend: We just closed the books on the final full quarter of this campaign, and I have bad news: My finance team says we fell nearly $20,000 short of our end-of-quarter goal.
I need to be very honest with you about what that means, friend: If we can't make up this shortfall before midnight, I'm considering making some cuts to our October budget.
Budget cuts could mean taking ads off the air right as Michiganders are casting their ballots. Meanwhile, the DeVos family's super PAC just bumped their attack ads budget to almost $6 million, and my Trump- and McConnell-backed opponent may be on track to outraise us for the SIXTH time in a row.
This shortfall could not be coming at a worse time, friend: Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight reports Democrats have ZERO chance to take back the Senate if we lose in Michigan - and new polling shows us BEHIND my extremist opponent.
So I'm asking personally right now: Can you rush $25 or more now to help close the gap on our missed goal so we aren't forced to scale back our fight to win in Michigan and take back the Senate?

We simply can't afford to be outraised again by our far-right opponent -- not with just over one month left until the end of election season and CNN reporting that my Senate seat is one of the most likely to flip.
If Trump and McConnell succeed at buying my seat, they're buying two more years of Mitch McConnell controlling the U.S. Senate -- and the future of the Supreme Court.
Let me be clear: We still have time to fight back and win -- but the stakes couldn't be higher, friend. Every dollar you give today could be the difference between defending my seat in Michigan and giving Mitch McConnell another two years in the Senate majority.
Will you rush a contribution of $25 or more now - anything you can spare to flip the Senate for Democrats - to win in Michigan, take back the Senate and protect the future of the Supreme Court from Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell?

The future of our country is on the ballot in Michigan's Senate race. I'm counting on you.
