This isn’t the news I was hoping to share with you this weekend.

My team and I just walked through the numbers and it’s clear we have not caught up to our missed fundraising goal — endangering our efforts to take back the Senate and stop Republicans from flipping Minnesota red in just 17 days.

I’ll be honest, this budget crisis is coming at the worst time. Our lead in the polls has shrunk. Donald Trump’s personal attacks on me are working. And two GOP dark money groups spent nearly $1 million to defeat us.

That’s why I’m directly messaging you right now with an urgent request as we try to make up for this temporary lapse in our fundraising. So, I’m asking:

Will you please add a donation of $3 (or more!) to stop us from losing any more ground? Anything you can give will go a long way toward helping us catch up on our missed goal and defend Minnesota.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

If we manage to get back on track in the next few hours, it’ll be because a lot of folks like you stepped up. I’m hoping I can count on you.
