Friend – I’m Catherine Cortez Masto, and I’m running for reelection in Nevada’s Senate race. Will you give me just a moment to explain why my race is so critical? It could decide Senate control.

Republicans need to only flip one seat to take back the Senate. So if we want to defend our Democratic Senate majority, it's crucial we win this seat here in Nevada. 

I won this race in 2016 by just 2 points after GOP outside groups spent $50 million to defeat me. And with dark money already set to flow by the millions 18 months before Election Day, Mitch McConnell and his allies know Senate control runs through Nevada.

If we lose Nevada, we lose the Senate. And they're already raising money to defeat me – so I urgently need your help.

In this critical moment, I'm asking 500 grassroots Democrats like you to become founding members of this team and help me defend Nevada and our Senate majority. Grassroots Democrats like you helped us protect this seat in 2016 – and I'm counting on you again: friend, will you give $5 right now to become a founding member of our campaign before midnight tonight? If we lose in Nevada, we hand Mitch McConnell the Senate majority we fought so hard for.

Thank you so much, friend. Your support today is the difference between protecting affordable health care and handing Mitch McConnell a blank slate to obstruct immigration protections, efforts to combat climate change and all of our shared values that won us the Senate majority.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!

Catherine

P.S. Any day now, a right-wing extremist being recruited by Mitch McConnell to run for this seat could jump into this race. With CNN calling Nevada one of the seats most likely to flip, the GOP is starting up earlier – and if we don't too, we could lose the Senate. Will you give now to defend Nevada's Senate seat and our Democratic Senate?
