This is urgent, friend: We're now officially going to the runoff in Georgia's Senate special election – but my opponent just UPPED her spend to $23 million of her personal fortune to defeat me, and I need your help.

With recent polls showing me in the lead, Mitch McConnell is lining up the full force of the Republican establishment to crush our people-powered campaign and keep this seat red.

We need to fight back immediately – that's why we're launching a brand-new TV ad! But staying on the airwaves isn't cheap, and we're already facing a HUGE $14,398 budget gap. If folks like you don't rush your immediate grassroots support, our TV ad could go dark within days.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to flip this seat blue and elect Georgia's first Black senator in history. But we're running out of the critical funds we need to keep our message on the airwaves and fight back against GOP attacks – and we can't afford to fall short on DAY ONE of the runoff.

So I'm personally asking, friend: Will you rush a contribution of $5 or more right now to keep our ads on the air, win in Georgia and secure a Senate majority for Democrats?

Thank you for coming through when it matters most.

– Raphael Warnock
