Friend, I have an update to share – and it's not good: We're still getting outspent on the airwaves by $56 million, and without a surge in grassroots support, our TV ads are at risk of going dark.

Given the stakes of this race, my team expected to see a considerable uptick in donations. But we've been refreshing ActBlue all day and, at this critical moment, it looks like our fundraising has slowed down significantly.

I'll be frank, friend: If we lose here in Georgia, Democrats will throw away our last chance to take back the Senate from Mitch McConnell.

But with recent polls showing this race neck and neck, the GOP plans to spend over $100 MILLION to keep this seat red – which could very well tip the scales in my extremist opponent's favor unless we fight back immediately.

Election Day is just 5 days away, which means I'm the GOP's top target right now. That’s why I need your help. We can’t afford to fall short of our final end-of-quarter fundraising goal tonight – not when Republicans are flooding the airwaves with attack ads and there are still voters left to reach.

So please, friend: I'm not taking a dime of corporate PAC money – whether or not we can win this race all comes down to grassroots folks like you: Will you give $5 or more now – as much as you can spare by midnight tonight – to help us hit our critical $800,000 end-of-quarter goal, flip Georgia blue and take back the Senate?

Thank you – I'm humbled to have your support.

– R.W.
