Folks, as the only U.S. Senator who has worked at Planned Parenthood, I know a thing or two about how hard it is for working parents to get by. I’m proud to say that this week, parents got a lot more help — give me a moment to explain.

Yesterday, the first monthly payments of our expanded Child Tax Credit were sent to over 90 percent of parents who have at least one child under 18.

To a nation where more than half of our people live paycheck to paycheck, this extra $250 to $300 per month for each child means everything — food, diapers, gas, clothing, baby formula, childcare, the list goes on. These payments will cut the child poverty rate in half .

Will you rush a contribution right now to help keep our Senate majority so we can continue fighting for bold policies like the expanded Child Tax Credit? Every dollar goes a long way:

Two working parents with two kids under the age of 6 will be eligible to receive $7,200 over the course of an entire year. It’s a game changer that we need to make a permanent fixture of how we support America’s families and children.

But folks, this week is also important to keeping our Senate majority. Because yesterday, the FEC released fundraising reports for the last quarter to the public — and Mitch McConnell is looking for weaknesses wherever he can find them.

I’ll be honest: the summer months are brutal for fundraising. But we can’t afford to fall behind if we’re going to take on the GOP’s fundraising machine and maintain our majority. Senate Republicans just raised $28 million, and they’re pouring millions of dollars into battleground states right now.

So I’m coming to you with an important request.

Will you rush a contribution today to help us prepare for the GOP attacks that will be launched against my Senate colleagues who are running for reelection? We can’t afford to lose a single seat with a 50-50 majority.

McConnell is prepared to do and spend whatever it takes to win back the majority — ending the expanded Child Tax Credit and clawing back even more resources that working families need to get by. We can’t let that happen.

Thanks for everything you’re doing. I’m glad to have you as a part of this team.
