Friend, I have an update to share – and it's not good: We're still getting outspent on the airwaves by $3 million this week, and without a surge in grassroots support, our TV ads are at risk of going dark.

Given the stakes of this race, my team expected to see a considerable uptick in donations. But we've been refreshing ActBlue all day and, at this critical moment, it looks like our fundraising has slowed down significantly.

I'll be frank, friend: If we lose here in Georgia, Democrats will throw away our last chance to take back the Senate from Mitch McConnell.

But with recent polls showing this race neck and neck, the GOP plans to spend over $100 MILLION to keep this seat red – which could very well tip the scales in my extremist opponent's favor unless we fight back immediately.

I'm the GOP's top target for the next 44 days, and I need your help. We can't afford to lag behind – not when Republicans are flooding the airwaves with attack ads and there are still undecided voters left to reach.

So please, friend: I'm not taking a dime of corporate PAC money – whether or not we can win this race all comes down to grassroots folks like you: Will you give $5 or more now – as much as you can spare by midnight tonight – to help me fight back against GOP attacks, flip Georgia blue and take back the Senate?

Thank you – I'm humbled to have your support.

– R.W.
