Friend, this will be quick – and I really need your help:

1. We just made the runoff in the Georgia special election that could decide Senate control.

2. My Republica opponent is spending over $23 MILLION to defeat me – and Mitch McConnell and his national GOP allies are planning on spending millions more to buy this seat.

3. Our grassroots campaign is falling $76,341 short of what we need to fight back, keep our TV ad on the air and win this race. Unless we close this budget gap by midnight tonight, our ad could go dark – and we'd cede the airwaves to my far-right opponent right as we enter the most critical stage of the runoff.

We cannot give McConnell and the GOP another two years in power – but according to analysts at The Washington Post, that's exactly what could happen if we lose this battleground Senate race.

Please, friend, I'm counting on you. With time running out before our MUST-HIT end-of-month deadline, I'm asking you to give every dollar you can spare right now:

Will you give $5 before midnight tonight to keep our ads on the air, win in Georgia and take back the Senate for Democrats?

We're so close, friend – thank you.
