Here’s the truth, folks:

Republicans aren’t wasting any time to reclaim the Senate. They’re already wrangling their wealthy donors, collecting million-dollar checks, recruiting extremist candidates, and attacking Democrats in key states like Georgia and Arizona.

We need to hit the ground running, too. All Republicans need to do is pick up one seat and Mitch McConnell gets to call the shots again in Washington. That is why we can’t wait around to protect our fragile 50-50 majority. We have to be ready to fight back.

Please know Ben Ray is doing everything he can to defend our Democratic majority. This brings us to why we’re emailing you today: With so many things on his plate right now, the last thing we want to do is keep bugging Ben Ray about our fundraising numbers. But we’re coming up short for the month.

The good news is that your response to emails like this one is always helpful. You keep our organization going strong. Because of you, Ben Ray can spend more time working to protect and expand our majority rather than fundraising, and that makes a huge difference.

So, if you would consider adding a donation to Ben Ray’s campaign to help us get back on track before tomorrow’s end-of-month deadline, it would take a lot off his plate and keep him focused on the job at hand. You can chip in right here:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

The money we raise each month covers the cost of keeping our campaign infrastructure intact, organizing our communities year-round, and backing up our work in Washington with grassroots activism. That’s why your donations matter so much.

Thanks for everything.
