Friend,
 
I’m running against unelected Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) in Georgia's runoff special election, and I need your help: While my opponent is a former Wall Street exec who has cashed in on her public office, been accused of insider trading and uses dog-whistle politics to spread hate and division, I'm a pastor who's devoted my life to service. I'm running for Senate to stand up to corrupt leaders like Loeffler and restore moral leadership to our government.

Winning this race is the only way Democrats can take back the Senate. Right now, a new analysis from FiveThirtyEight shows me just 2 points ahead of Loeffler – but while she's spending at least $23 million of her personal fortune to buy this seat, we're running a people-powered campaign that depends on grassroots support. And unfortunately, with early voting beginning in just days, we're falling incredibly short of our critical mid-month goal.

That’s why this news is so amazing: A group of fired-up donors just stepped up to match every single donation, dollar for dollar, to help us get back on track – but I need folks like you to take full advantage: friend, will you give $5 or more now to help us flip Georgia blue, take back the Senate for Democrats and restore moral leadership to our government? When you give right now, your contribution will go twice as far.

Mitch McConnell-aligned super PACs are pouring historic sums of money into this race – and McConnell himself has mobilized the full force of the GOP establishment to spend upwards of $100 million to buy this seat. Simply put: He's terrified that his Senate majority is in serious danger.

Well, he's right to be scared. We've proven all the pundits wrong; forced the GOP into a runoff election in battleground Georgia; and now, our campaign is surging ahead in the polls. And we've done it without taking a cent from corporate PACs.

But here's the deal: Despite our unprecedented success, my opponent is the wealthiest member of Congress – and she continues to outraise and outspend us by writing herself staggering million-dollar checks.

In a race this high stakes, and this close, we cannot afford to fall short of our critical mid-month goal – it could mean throwing away our last and only chance to take back the Senate and end McConnell's extremist majority.

Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight says we can flip this seat blue – but not without your grassroots support. So if you care about flipping Georgia blue, defeating Mitch McConnell and restoring the kind of moral leadership that our government is lacking, I'm counting on you make a donation that will go twice as far right now:

Please, friend, will you contribute $5 or more right now – every dollar will be DOUBLED – to help us meet our $750,000 mid-month goal, win in Georgia and take back the Senate for Democrats?

We're on the verge of making history – because of you. Thank you.
