Friend: With just days to go until Georgia's runoff elections – which will decide the Senate majority – I've got to be up-front about where things stand, even if it's bad news.

First, polling showed me with a narrow lead against Kelly Loeffler (R) – so the GOP started spending $100 million to crush our momentum, and my opponent booked over $53 million in airtime to spread lies about my record.

Then, this massive surge in Republican spending had a major impact: We lost our lead and then fell short of our crucial end-of-quarter goal!

Now, if we don't raise another $100,000 by 8 p.m. tonight, our last TV ad of the runoff election could go dark – and we could get drowned out on the airwaves in the final days of this race, just as voters go to the polls on Election Day.

We cannot let this happen, friend. Experts say we have a real shot to flip this seat, but we'll throw it all away unless folks like you rush your immediate grassroots support.

Please, I'm personally asking you to not sit this one out: Rush an urgent contribution of $5 or more now – every dollar will help keep our TV ads live – so we can flip this seat blue and take back the Senate for Democrats.

Thank you,

Raphael
