John,

Experts everywhere from CNN to The Hill are calling Arizona and Nevada two of the most vulnerable Senate seats in the entire country – and if we lose either one, we could lose the Senate.

National Republicans and outside groups are already pouring in millions to defeat us and flip both of these seats. You can see how high the stakes are – the Senate runs through these battleground races. So here’s the part where I have to ask:

The end-of-quarter FEC deadline is just two days away, and both Catherine and I need to have a strong performance. The only way we do that is by this grassroots team, you, chipping in, so I'm urgently asking for your help right now: Please, will you split $5, $25 or more – whatever you can spare – to defend Arizona and Nevada?

I wouldn't come to you like this if it weren't important. My race was one of the most expensive in the country last year, and National Republicans spent nearly $50 million to defeat Catherine in 2016. We each won by just two points – and with the Senate on the line, these races could be even closer. We have zero room for error – a single missed fundraising goal could put our seats at risk.

Make no mistake, John: National Republicans are all in to flip Arizona and Nevada and retake the Senate. Our road ahead is only going to get tougher. But I’m confident that with your support, we can fight back and hold these seats, so please:

Split $5 or whatever you can today to make sure Catherine and I have the resources we need to defend these seats. 

I can't thank you enough for chipping in at critical moments like this one.

Full speed ahead!
