Friend, I’m running against unelected Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) for U.S. Senate, and with early voting already underway, I need your help:

My opponent is a former Wall Street exec who has cashed in on her public office and been accused of insider trading. She has attacked the Black Lives Matter movement and keeps company with QAnon and white supremacist supporters. And now she's spending $23 million of her own fortune to buy Georgia's Senate seat.

She represents the very worst of Washington. That's why, as a pastor who's devoted my life to service, I'm in this historic fight to defeat her and restore moral leadership to our government.

But while Republicans are spending $100 million in megadonor money to keep Georgia red, we're running a grassroots campaign that refuses corporate PAC donations and relies on support from folks like you. And unfortunately, we just fell short of our massive mid-month fundraising goal, the most important of our runoff campaign.

That's why this news is huge: We just got word that our group of mid-month donors is extending their match offer so we can get back on track – but their offer is only live until midnight, and time is running out. Please, will you give $5 or more right now to get your gift matched so we can flip Georgia blue and take back the Senate for Democrats?

It's pretty easy to read between the lines: Mitch McConnell and the GOP are shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars because they're terrified that their days in the majority are numbered. But we can't let up, not for a second.

As the wealthiest member of Congress, my opponent can write herself million-dollar checks with the stroke of a pen – and right now, she's doing everything she can to drown us out on the airwaves, smear my record and take the lead.

That's why your support today of all days is so critical. This match opportunity only lasts until midnight tonight – and I don't know about you, but I don't want to wake up on Jan. 6 wishing I'd done more when I had the chance.

So please, friend: If you want to fire unelected Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) and help us make history in Georgia, will you give $5 or more now ($5 becomes $10) so we can flip this seat blue and take back the Senate for Democrats?

I'm so proud to have you by my side. Thanks for coming through.
