John,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. I was out crisscrossing the state all day on my birthday, and I came home to some amazing news. Thanks to your support, you made this my best birthday yet. We not only hit our $50,000 birthday celebration goal, we blew it out of the water.

We're in the final stretch of this grassroots campaign and your support has never been more important. I'm so grateful to know this grassroots team always has my back. Your support will help us make it through these final 13 days.

Right now we're locked in the closest race in the country -- Mitch McConnell and his allies are spending more than $80 MILLION to defeat us, including $4.3 million they added this week alone. They've seen what this grassroots team can do, and they're getting desperate. We know they will do -- and spend -- whatever it takes to win. We have to keep the pressure on if we're going to win this toss up race.

Winning won't be easy, and hitting this goal only makes a dent in what we need to take on McConnell's tens of millions. But with folks like you on this team, John, I know we can accomplish anything.

Flipping this seat and taking back the Senate won't be easy, but I never back down from a tough fight. Together, we can flip the Senate and finally make progress on the issues we all care about. Just a few days left now, folks -- don't stop now.

Let's go,

Theresa

P.S. Maria says thanks for all the birthday wishes, too! And thanks for helping her hit this special birthday goal.
