Hi there, I hate to bother you over the weekend, but I need to share something with you. According to my team, fewer people than we were hoping for have been donating to our campaign over the past few weeks, and we are behind on our August end-of-month goal.

I don't want to alarm you, but that's a serious problem… While our numbers are slowing down, national Republicans are breaking fundraising records left and right. Donald Trump has a war chest of over $100 million and Republicans’ Senate campaign arm has raised over $51 million this year — and they only have to flip one seat to hand the majority back over to Mitch McConnell.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you today with an important request. I know messages like these can be pesky (heck, the last thing I want to do is ask you for your hard-earned money), but they make a huge difference for our team.

So, if we're going to hold our own against the GOP and protect our Democratic Senate majority, we need to catch up on our goals — quickly. And if we're going to do that, it will come from folks like you donating on messages like these, because I am never going to beg the wealthy few or corporate special interests to cut me a check.

Please, will you consider adding a contribution of $10 or more right now as part of our emergency push to get our grassroots fundraising back on track before our end-of-month deadline expires on Tuesday?

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

Chip in $10 now Chip in $25 now

Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now

Chip in $250 now Another Amount

Every penny makes a huge difference — to both our campaign and to me personally.

Thanks for pitching in, if you can.

— Tammy
