John, I just want to say thank you.

Because of the strength of our grassroots movement, we've proven the pundits wrong and forced the GOP into a runoff election. We've shown the country that a new South is coming – one that is bold, inclusive and forward-thinking. And we've come one step closer to making history in Georgia.

But I'll be honest: I've got an incredibly tough fight ahead. We poured every cent we had into getting this far – which means we're now back to square one. With all eyes on Georgia, the GOP is gearing up to flood us with MILLIONS in attack ads, and we're already facing a $50,000 budget deficit.

That's why I'm asking directly: Will you give $3 to help us close this critical gap, win in Georgia and secure a Democratic Senate majority?

When we launched this campaign, I knew it wouldn't be easy. The GOP has had a target on our backs from day one, and they haven't let up since.

Mitch McConnell and his Republican allies have spent millions to drown us out, crush our people-powered momentum, and prop up my far-right opponent. And they're about to spend a whole lot more to keep this seat red.

That's why taking our foot off the gas is simply not an option. Election experts from Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight to NBC confirm we can win this key Senate race – but not without grassroots support.

With time running out before our crucial midnight deadline, we're falling short of the $50,000 we need to kickstart this runoff election, and I'm counting on folks like you to give now. So please, John: Will you make a contribution of $3 or more to defeat the GOP, flip this seat blue and secure a Senate majority for Democrats?

Thank you for your support.
