Last night’s historic debate brought together the top ten Democratic candidates for president in Houston, where visions for the future, plans for how to make it happen, and healthy debate were shared from one side of the stage to the other.

It’s clear that each of the presidential candidates are committed to moving America forward, even if they have different ideas on exactly how to do it.

But here’s the truth: whoever is the new President-Elect will have an impossible task ahead of them if we don’t take back the Senate next November.

Mitch McConnell and his endless network of dark-money groups have already shown that there is no price tag they aren’t willing to pay to keep their stranglehold on the Senate. So we’re asking for your help to fight back: will you chip in $10 or more today to help Flip the Senate and finally send Do-Nothing Mitch McConnell packing?

We’re already almost halfway through September. That means all next week we’re going to be checking in on our progress to goal for the month and making tough decisions about where critical resources will be allocated across all the Senate seats we need to keep AND flip to win a Democratic majority in 2020.

Sara Gideon in Maine, Mark Kelly in Arizona, Theresa Greenfield in Iowa, Ben Ray Lujan in New Mexico, and Jaime Harrison in South Carolina and others are all counting on us to step up today if we’re going to have any chance at winning next year.

But we are trending far behind our goal for September, John. A donation of $1, $5, or $50 may not seem like a lot in the grand scheme of things, but we mean it when we say every dollar we raise today is absolutely critical to winning and flipping the Senate next year.
