I'll be blunt, John: I'm emailing to ask you for $5. But first I'd like to explain why your grassroots donation is so important. Or, if you're ready to rush a gift right now, you can click here to defend our Democratic Senate.

A right-wing extremist is being recruited by Mitch McConnell to run for this seat and take back the Senate majority. And multiple outside GOP groups – including one linked to Mitch McConnell himself – are already set to spend MILLIONS to defeat me (almost 19 months before Election Day).

Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight says Mitch McConnell and the GOP have a strong chance of winning back the Senate, and they only need ONE seat. And with CNN naming me one of the most vulnerable Democratic senators, Republicans have set their sights on Nevada.

Missing a single fundraising goal is not an option – not with our Democratic Senate majority and progress on our shared values hanging in the balance. But right now, we're significantly short of our $40,000 end-of-month goal, and I'm counting on you to help make up the gap. 

Please, John, $5 might not sound like a lot, but if you join the thousands of grassroots supporters who have already given $5 to defend our majority, we can hit our goal: Donate $5 – or a bit more if you can – right now to help defend Nevada's seat and our Democratic Senate!

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
