Friend, I just got some bad news, and I need your help.

With only 10 days left until the election, we're facing a $14,835 budget shortfall, and my team just let me know that if donations don't pick up immediately, our brand-new final-stretch campaign ads could go dark by tonight.

Right now, we're running neck and neck with our opponent, Kelly Loeffler (R): Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight calls this race a "Toss-Up," and a brand-new New York Times poll shows us with a narrow LEAD!

But Loeffler is spending $20 MILLION of her own fortune to crush our momentum, and a McConnell-linked super PAC is dumping another $17 million into Georgia between now and Election Day to make sure this seat – and Senate control – stays in Republican hands.

With the full force of the GOP working against us, we MUST make up this deficit by midnight tonight. That's why I'm personally asking: Will you please give $5 or more right now to help us keep our ads on the air and flip Georgia blue?

This could not be more urgent: Everything from health care to the Senate to the future of our Supreme Court is on the line in this race, which means if our ads go dark now, we'll not only lose in Georgia – we will lose our best chance to end Mitch McConnell's Senate majority.

And here's the thing: I don't take a dime from corporate PACs, so winning or losing will all come down to what you do before our can't-miss midnight deadline.

I'm counting on you, friend, and the clock is ticking: Will you please make a donation of $5 or more right now to help keep our ads on the air, protect our narrow lead in this critical race and flip Georgia blue in just 10 days?

This means a lot, so thank you in advance.
