I know your time is valuable, especially on a weekend, so I’ll keep this message short. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read it.

We’ve got a pretty big hole in our budget before the final fundraising deadline of this election in exactly one week — and one of the latest polls shows our campaign locked in a statistical tie with my right-wing opponent, 43% to 42%.

This is the worst possible time to fall behind in the polls and on our fundraising, especially with voting already underway across Minnesota. Our campaign is running out of time to reach the undecided voters we need to win this election, so I have to ask:

Can I count on you to donate $5 or more right now to help us keep Minnesota blue? Anything you can give will go a long way toward getting us back on track and it would mean a lot to me personally.

This budget crisis is coming at a time when our campaign is losing ground in the polls and dealing with Donald Trump focusing his efforts (and his checkbook) on flipping Minnesota red — in fact, his campaign manager just said, “there will be a major ad buy in the campaign’s final week” here in our state.

We have to be ready. If we manage to get back on track ahead of the final deadline, it’ll be because a lot of folks like you stepped up. I’m hoping I can count on you.

Add a donation of $5 or whatever you can right here to support our re-election campaign in the final days of this election:
