Can you help me out with something, folks?

This morning, I bet Michael that I could raise more money than him before the campaign’s big end-of-quarter fundraising deadline in less than one week. He’s dubious.

So, can you chip in $10 or more right now to help me win this bet (and help the campaign reach their FEC goal)? Anything you can give makes a difference!

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

At the end of the month, the campaign will have to report their fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission — and then they’re released to the public.

That means everyone — and I mean everyone — will get to see exactly how much money Michael’s campaign has and the number of people who have chipped in to help.

If Mitch McConnell and national Republicans detect an ounce of weakness — say, low fundraising numbers or a small number of donors — you can bet they’ll pounce on this race and do all they can to flip Michael’s seat red.

That’s why I’m doing everything I can to help the campaign report the strongest numbers possible (and win this bet!). If you can, will you chip in $10 or more now to help us reach this important goal?

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to brag about how many people chipped in to this email.
