There's no way of sugarcoating this, everyone: I was the only Democratic senator to be outraised this summer — and our Trump- and DeVos-backed opponent has outraised us four out of the last five quarters. And, it couldn't have come at a worse time, with a new poll showing me nearly two points BEHIND my far-right opponent.
With analysts at CBS News reporting that Michigan’s Senate race will decide Senate control, we’ll have zero chance of taking back the Senate if we lose this seat. It's why right-wing interests from Donald Trump to Mitch McConnell to the DeVos family are funneling in over $30 million to buy this Senate seat.
I’m no stranger to tough fights: Fighting for the people of Michigan is the greatest honor of my life, and I do not plan on ceding this seat to a right-wing extremist.
But if we're going to win in Michigan and take back the Senate for Democrats, we CANNOT afford to take anything for granted. And with less than TWO WEEKS until Election Day and over a million Michiganders already casting their ballots, we're running out of time to make up ground.
Our opponent has the full force of GOP special interests behind him — but I have you. So I'm asking: Before midnight, can I count on you to contribute $3 or more — every dollar you can spare — to win in Michigan, take back the Senate for Democrats and protect the future of the Supreme Court?

In a race this close, fundraising is an important way campaigns can show their strength — and right now, we need to show the GOP that we won’t lose this election by hitting our fundraising goals and not backing down an inch until polls close on Election Day.
Thanks for fighting by my side for working families in Michigan and across the country.
Gary
