Control of the Senate is going to play out in battlegrounds like Michigan. If we’re going to flip the Senate, then we need to defend Gary Peters' critical blue seat.
Here’s the good news: Gary is leading in the polls, which is a testament to our grassroots organization rallying behind his campaign and giving it the resources to finish strong. But we can’t take anything for granted when outside groups connected to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Betsy DeVos’ family are pouring millions of dollars into this race.
Thanks,

------- ORIGINAL MESSAGE -------
It’s been a little while since I talked to you about the Senate race in Michigan, and with less than a month to go until Election Day, I want to make sure we don’t forget about this crucially important contest.
Let me start with the good news: Reports show that Senate Republicans are facing tougher odds when it comes to defending their Majority in the Senate.
But here’s the bad news: Leader Mitch McConnell knows that Democrats must hold on to Michigan to flip the Senate. So like clockwork, a major GOP super PAC with ties to McConnell is making a late push in the state and pouring in $9 million in an attempt to unseat my friend Sen. Gary Peters and defend their Majority.
This is the latest special interest-fueled attack against Gary.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee and a super PAC connected to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’ family have already spent millions of dollars in Michigan. And this is hardly the first time the McConnell-associated outside group has dumped money into Gary’s race.
McConnell and Republicans know Michigan is essential to winning the Senate Majority, and right now, polls show the race is close.
We can’t afford to lose Gary’s leadership in the Senate.
While President Trump and McConnell are putting off desperately needed COVID-19 legislation until after the election, Gary is fighting to make sure Michiganders have the resources they need to get through the pandemic.
Mahalo,
Brian
