Friend, we've got a problem on our hands, so I'll get straight to it: With Senate control at stake, Kelly Loeffler (R) is outspending us by a margin of 2-to-1 on the air – and we're facing a critical $39,284 TV ad budget gap that we need to close by 8 p.m. tonight.

New polls show this race in a virtual tie – and if we can't raise what we need in the next few hours, our ads could go dark and the GOP will drown out our message with their millions. We can't let that happen.

This is our last chance to take back the Senate for Democrats, and election experts say we can win – but not if we fall behind on the airwaves with just under four weeks left until Election Day: So please, friend, will you give $5 now to help us keep our ads on the air and win in Georgia?

Georgians have a stark choice in January. I'm a pastor who has dedicated my life to service. But I'm running against the wealthiest member of Congress and a former Wall Street exec who has profited off the pandemic instead of using her office to help families stay in their homes.

While she pours nearly $43 million of special-interest money into attack ads and writes her campaign at least $23 million worth of checks from her own personal fortune, I'm running this campaign the right way – I'm not taking a dime from corporate PACs; I'm building people power with grassroots folks like you.

That's why my ask is so important. Keeping our ads on the air is critical to fighting back against the GOP's attacks and lies and reaching undecided voters who could make or break the outcome of this race. We don't give up when the going gets hard – that's how we made it to the runoff in the first place. So if we're going to flip this seat, I need you to step up now.

Friend: Will you rush an urgent contribution of $5 or more – every single dollar you can give is critical right now – to keep our ads on the air, flip Georgia blue and take back the Senate for Democrats?

Thanks so much for being part of this fight with me.
