I'm the most vulnerable incumbent Senate Democrat up for re-election next year, and I need your help: While I've spent my time in office providing pandemic relief to struggling families, fighting for voting rights and delivering on our progressive priorities, extremist Republicans are doing everything they can to attack me and smear my record.

Here's why: Experts at POLITICO say that Democrats' chances of defending our razor-thin majority hinge on keeping Georgia blue.

This race will decide Senate control — but while GOP mega-donors and dark money groups have millions at their disposal to try to buy this seat, we're running a people-powered campaign that relies on grassroots support. And unfortunately, with our FEC filing deadline swiftly approaching at the end of this month, we're falling incredibly short of our goal.

So I'm personally reaching out to ask for your help today. I need to raise another $8,346 to fight back against GOP attacks and protect my seat – and I'm counting on you to help me get there. Please, will you split a donation of $10 or more between me and Tina Smith so my campaign can win in Georgia and together we can defend our Democratic Senate majority?

As a kid who grew up in public housing, I know what it's like to be counted out before you even get started. But through hard work and the support of my family and community, I was able to graduate from college and went on to become the senior pastor at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s church. Now, I'm proudly serving as the first Black senator in Georgia's history.

But here's the deal: With the Senate split 50-50, Republicans only need to flip one seat to retake control — and NBC News confirms that they're coming after me as a top target for defeat.

That's why we have to fight back now. Because if we fail to keep Georgia blue, Mitch McConnell will be back calling the shots and obstructing our Democratic agenda at every turn.

The battle for Senate control will be won or lost in Georgia. So if you care about defending our Democratic Senate, I'm counting on you to rush your immediate grassroots support before it's too late:

Please, split $10 or more now between me and Tina Smith to help my campaign fight back against GOP attacks, keep Georgia blue and defend our Democratic Senate majority!
