With Georgians voting in our runoff election right now, I really wish I had better news to share. But I've got to be upfront about where things stand:

First, recent polls showed us with a narrow lead against unelected Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R), proving we have what it takes to win and take back the Senate.

But then, Mitch McConnell and the GOP unleashed $100 million in spending to keep Georgia red and safeguard their extremist majority. That's on top of the staggering $42 million ad buy my opponent made to spread lies about me.

Now, this Republican spending is having a major impact: A new poll released this week shows me falling 1 point BEHIND – and we're $194,384 short of tonight's critical fundraising goal!

If we don't catch up and close this gap, Loeffler's lead could grow – and we could jeopardize our final chances to reach Georgians as they're casting their ballots. In a race this close, with only 18 days left and Senate control on the line, every single dollar matters immensely. So please:

Friend: Can I count on you to make a contribution of $5 or more? Whatever you can give right now will help us fight this massive GOP spending, flip Georgia blue and take back the Senate.

Thank you,

Raphael
