This is hard to believe, John: Last night was our end-of-month deadline – by far the most important moment of Nevada's Senate race so far, now that Mitch McConnell is courting his handpicked candidate – and we fell short.

CNN is calling Nevada one of the seats most likely to flip in 2022 – which means there is ZERO room for error. Missing important goals like this one could not only cost us this race; it could mean losing our razor-thin majority in the Senate.

Our campaign relies on small-dollar donors, not deep-pocketed dark-money groups, so missing goals like this takes a huge toll. If we can turn this around by midnight tonight, it'll put us back on track to defend Nevada's Senate seat – and our Democratic Senate. John, can we count on you to rush $5 or more right now to defend the Senate?

Mitch McConnell and his extremist cronies know the path to Senate control runs right through Nevada – that's why the Senate GOP campaign arm has already launched their first round of TV ads to defeat Catherine. She won by just over 2 points in 2016 after the GOP spent nearly $50 million to defeat her, thanks to grassroots supporters like you. We're counting on you again now to make sure Catherine has the resources to fund the ads, phone banks and field teams she needs to fight back against GOP attacks and keep Nevada blue.

Please, before midnight, rush $5 or more right now to defend Nevada's Senate seat and the Senate majority for Democrats!
