Friend: With early voting underway in Georgia, my Republican opponent is spending $23 million of her personal fortune to defeat me – and now, recent polls show this race neck and neck.

Unless we raise another $9,452 by midnight, we'll have no chance of fighting back, reaching our end-of-quarter goal and winning this race. But with just hours left until our critical midnight deadline, we're still falling dangerously behind.

I have nowhere else to turn, so I'm personally asking you, friend: Please, will you rush an urgent donation of $5 or more right now – every dollar you can – to help us get back on track and flip Georgia blue?

After analysts at The Washington Post said that this battleground race could decide Senate control, Mitch McConnell and the GOP started FLOODING our state with millions in attack ads – and they haven't let up since.

Simply put, the GOP is terrified of losing their extremist majority. We can defeat them – we HAVE to defeat them – but my McConnell-backed opponent is the wealthiest member of Congress, and without your critical grassroots support, there's honestly no way I can fight back and flip Georgia blue.

Just 7 days out from the election, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight says this race is tightening – which means we have ZERO room for error. Missing our crucial goal could mean not only losing in Georgia, but also losing our one shot to flip the Senate.

So please, friend, time is running out – and you know I wouldn't ask if it weren't important: Will you give $5 now (or as much as you can possibly spare by midnight tonight) to help us hit our end-of-quarter goal and win in Georgia so we can take back the Senate for Democrats?

We're in the final stretch, so every bit counts. Thank you, friend.
