John, it's Catherine, and I really need your help.

The Cook Political Report just downgraded my chances of winning Nevada's Senate race – and I'm on track to fall just short of my $25,000 rapid-response goal to defend this battleground seat. 

I cannot afford to miss this goal, not when the Senate majority hinges on this seat. But here's what my team found when they pulled your supporter record:

I wouldn't ask if it weren't important: Our razor-thin Senate majority is on the line, and I have nowhere else to turn.

The GOP and outside groups have spent nearly $1 million to defeat me – and this downgrade shows that their attack ads could work. 

I won this seat by just two points in 2016 because I had a strong team of dedicated grassroots supporters like you, John. Nevada is a must-win race for Senate control, and with CNN analysts calling me one of the most vulnerable senators, I need you more than ever.

Please, before our midnight deadline, can I count on you to rush a gift of $5 to win in Nevada and defend our Democratic Senate?

Thanks for giving what you can. I'm so grateful to have you on this team, John.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!

Catherine
