Team —

In just two days, we will be closing the books on our mid-month fundraising deadline. I'm being told we are still a bit behind on where we need to be to hit our target, which is why I'm reaching out to you. But before I ask you to chip in, I want to take a moment to explain why this deadline is important:

Democrats are going to need all hands on deck to take back the Senate and the White House in 2020. I'm ready and willing to do everything I can to make sure they get the support they need, but that's going to take a heck of a lot of resources — which is how my team and I set fundraising goals just like this one.

When we hit or miss a target, it impacts how much time I get to spend campaigning for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket. And I'll be honest: I would much rather be doing that than dialing for dollars or worrying about our numbers.

So, here comes the part where I ask for your help:

Can you add an emergency contribution of $10 or more to get us back on track for our mid-month goal? The deadline is in two days, so I need your help now. If we can catch up in the next few hours, we'll be on track to hit our fundraising projections for the month.

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

Most of my colleagues in Washington don't have the luxury of relying on grassroots donors like you. I can always count on the responses to these messages being really great, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your help.
