Friend, I have to tell you some bad news: While the GOP is pouring $100 million into Georgia – and outspending us by $56 million on TV alone – we fell short of our critical end-of-quarter fundraising goal. Now, we're falling short of the $100,000 we need by midnight tonight to get back on track.

This is the worst possible time to fall short. With just three days left until the runoff election, polling shows my opponent, Kelly Loeffler (R), 1 point AHEAD of me – and time is running out to catch up in this heated final sprint.

Democrats have to win in Georgia to take back the Senate and finally end Mitch McConnell's GOP majority – but the only way we can do it is by hitting our critical goal, fighting back against Republican attacks and powering the most ambitious GOTV operation Georgia has ever seen.

This late in the game, we can't afford to lag behind. We've got to close our $100,000 budget gap by midnight tonight, friend – and I need your grassroots support to help us get there. Please, with just hours left until our crucial deadline, I'm personally asking:

Will you make a donation of $5 or more right now – in a race this close, every dollar will truly make the difference between winning and losing – to help us meet our goal, turn out voters to flip Georgia blue and take back the Senate for Democrats?

Thank you for being part of this team, friend.
