Friend, we have a big problem, so I'll get right to it: Senate control is at stake in this race, and we're currently being outspent on the airwaves by $3 MILLION during this week alone.

With polls showing this race tightening, Mitch McConnell and the GOP are pulling out all the stops to defeat me – because they know that if we lose in Georgia, Democrats will have no chance to take back the Senate.

Election experts say we can flip this seat. But if our fundraising doesn't catch up, we'll be drowned out on the airwaves – and we'll have no way to counter the negative attack ads coming our way. So please, friend: Will you rush an urgent contribution of $5 or more now to help me fight back against GOP attacks, flip this seat blue and take back the Senate? 

Here's the truth: I'm running against a former Wall Street exec who is now the wealthiest member of Congress. She has already poured millions of her own fortune into this race – and there are no signs of her stopping.

Thankfully, in our democracy, this seat is not for sale. While I might not have a massive personal war chest to fall back on, I have something better: grassroots folks like you. 

Because of your critical support, we've gone from underdog to front-runner in just months – and everyone from NBC News to Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight says we can win. But right now, we're being outspent – big time – and this surge could tip the scales in my opponent's favor unless we fight back now.

I don't take a single dime from corporate PACs, so I'm being honest when I say that whether we flip this seat and take back the Senate could all come down to your immediate grassroots support.

Friend: Will you please give $5 – or as much as you can afford – to power our campaign to victory and take back the Senate for Democrats?

Thanks for joining me in this fight.
