Friend,
I hate to come to you like this, but my seat was just added to Roll Call's list of most vulnerable Senate seats in this final stretch of the election.
From Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight to CBS News, analysts all agree that the future of Senate control will be decided in Michigan. So my friend Richard suggested I reach out to this team for your urgent help.
Every single fundraising goal between now and Election Day is make-or-break for our re-election campaign. But right now, we're falling $25,000 short of what we need to raise before midnight to stay on track to win. The stakes are simply too high to lose Michigan's Senate race, so can I count on your support?
Here's what we're up against: My Trump-backed opponent has outraised us for four of the last five quarters – which makes me the only Democratic Senator to get outraised this summer. GOP special-interest groups are funnelling over $30 million into this race to defeat me. And a brand-new poll shows our far-right opponent nearly two points ahead.
Helping working families alongside Richard in the Senate is the greatest honor I've ever had, so I'm going to fight with everything I've got to make sure a right-wing extremist doesn't take this seat – but this isn't a fight I can win alone.
With just 10 days left until Election Day, we don't have much time to turn things around. So please, Friend, I need you to rush an immediate donation to make sure I can take on the flood of GOP dark money and protect Michigan's must-win Senate seat:
Thank you so much for coming through at such a critical moment. There aren't words for how grateful I am.
Gary Peters
