In 2010, I was supposed to lose, you know.
It was the first midterm since the election of Barack Obama, America was pulling itself out of a recession, and the pundits all said Republicans were predestined to flip the Senate red.
And me? I was the Democratic Senate Majority Leader in swing state Nevada. I had a giant target on my back.
But we ran a disciplined people-powered campaign -- and we kept Nevada blue.
Now the pundits are saying there are echoes of 2010 and my friend Governor Steve Sisolak has a giant target on his back. I know Steve is running a campaign to keep Nevada blue, but he needs your help to hit his end-of-month goal -- will you rush a donation immediately?
Look, there are some similarities between 2010. And that’s why I know Steve can win:
-- Republicans are hellbent on nominating a rightwing extremist (and there’s a clown car of crazies running right now)
-- From expanding health care to investing in workers, Steve Sisolak is focused on making people’s lives better (and he won’t get distracted by the GOP nonsense)
-- Steve is running a grassroots campaign -- powered by people like you!
And running a people-powered campaign means Steve needs good Democrats like you to chip in to meet his fundraising goals.
Will you chip in a contribution to Steve Sisolak’s Democratic campaign before the end of the month to help keep Nevada blue?
I’m counting on you.

P.S. If Steve doesn’t have the resources to get our message out, I know keeping Nevada blue will be real tough. But if everyone reading this would chip in just $5, Steve will hit his fundraising goal no problem. Can you help out? →
