Friend -- with less than 30 days left in this election, I want to give you an update on our race in Michigan. 

For the last few months, with the help of Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, my extreme right-wing opponent has outraised us time and time again, breaking fundraising records along the way.  

With recent polling showing my opponent nearly two points ahead, McConnell's super PAC dumped $9 million into Michigan to buy this seat and keep his grip on Senate control.

The hard truth is that according to Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight, Democrats will lose our only chance at taking back the Senate if I lose in Michigan. 

Friend, it's never been more urgent to step up: Will you contribute $3 or more right now to defend Michigan's Senate seat and take back the Senate?

I've got to tell you, watching Mitch McConnell call the shots in Washington is infuriating. The impact he's having on our judicial system, including the Supreme Court, will have consequences for generations to come.

So frankly, it's never been more important for Democrats to take back the Senate. And according to CBS News, a Democratic Senate majority will come down to what happens here in Michigan.

That's why we set a goal to raise $50,000 today. But we won't get there without a MAJOR push from grassroots supporters like you.

I wouldn't ask if it weren't critically important: Will you rush $3 or more right now -- every dollar you can -- to win in Michigan, take back the Senate for Democrats, and protect the future of the Supreme Court?

Thank you,

Gary
