Friend —

We’re coming up on our August fundraising deadline, and I’m going to ask for your support, but first I hope you’ll give me the time to explain why it’s so important.

Last month, another Republican announced his candidacy for 2022, this time with a $10 million super PAC at his back. That means we now have FOUR opponents running to defeat me and take back this Senate seat.

With this much competition, we can’t afford to fall short of our fundraising goals even once.

My team tells me we need 20,000 contributions before the end of the month to stay on track.

If you can, will you split a $5 contribution between Sen. Blumenthal and my people-powered campaign to help us defend this seat?

Our people-powered campaign stunned National Republicans in 2020 by defying the odds and winning. I know we can do it again, because I can count on grassroots supporters like you to have my back.

I can’t thank you enough for your support. It means the world to me to have so many of you with me in the fight for our shared values.

Full speed ahead!
