Tonight is our October fundraising deadline, and my team tells me we’re not where we had planned to be this morning. So before before the Trick-or-Treaters arrive, please give me a chance to explain why making a contribution before our midnight deadline is so important:

Our democracy is at a tipping point. Republicans have made it clear they aren’t going to stop pedaling Donald Trump’s dangerous conspiracy theories. They’ve amplified the voices of anti-vaxxers, opposed accountability for the January 6th insurrectionists, passed state laws restricting access to the ballot, targeted constitutionally protected reproductive rights, and undermined trust in the legitimacy of our elections with the Big Lie.

Without trust, legitimacy, and accountability our democracy cannot survive. This is a party that cannot be permitted to control our country's agenda again. Their fealty towards Donald Trump poses a real and existential threat to our future.

The 2022 midterm elections — which are just over a year away — are crucially important to holding onto our majority. Mitch McConnell and right-wing dark money groups have amassed hundreds of millions of dollars to take on Democratic Senators like me who are up for re-election and flip the Senate back to their control.

That’s why your support is so important as we work to strengthen our grassroots movement to fight off their attacks and get every vote out.

Please consider making a $5, $10, $25, or even $50 contribution to our campaign tonight ahead of the end-of-month deadline at midnight:

Few of us could ever have imagined that we would be at this crossroads today.

We are all being put to the test. But we can’t waiver — the future depends on what we do right now.

Onwards,

Chris
