John – my team just let me know that we're falling incredibly short of our critical midnight fundraising goal. If you have a second, I'd like to tell you why it's so essential to our campaign – and our progressive future – that we reach this goal and raise what we need now.

The truth is that the odds are against us. With the Senate split 50-50, the GOP needs to flip just one seat to retake control for Mitch McConnell, and The New York Times reports that I'm the most vulnerable Senate Democrat in the entire country. Republicans are coming after me as their top target for defeat – and they've already started launching attack ads to try and crush our people-powered movement.

I won't let them – but I need your help. I'm not taking a cent of corporate PAC money – and unlike GOP megadonors, I don't have millions to sink into my campaign. I've got this grassroots team – and right now, the only way I can fight back against these attacks and defend my seat is with your urgent support. That means hitting critical fundraising goals like this one.

So I'll be direct, John: I'm asking you to make a contribution – here and now – toward our midnight fundraising goal before it's too late. This will be one of the most competitive Senate races of the cycle, and we simply can't afford to fall behind before we even get started.

Please, I need folks like you by my side: Will you give $15 or more right now – split between my campaign and Seth Moulton – to keep Georgia blue and defend our Senate majority?

This team has helped us beat the odds before, and I know we can do it again. Thanks so much for fighting alongside me.
