Friend: Sen. Chuck Grassley recently announced he's running for his eighth term in the U.S. Senate.

After 47 years of Sen. Grassley's failed leadership, recent polling shows nearly two-thirds of Iowans want to elect someone new. With Democrat Abby Finkenauer running, this is Democrats' best opportunity in decades to flip Iowa blue and defend our Senate majority.

But the GOP is already zeroing in on Abby: First, national Republicans and Fox News launched early attacks against her. Then, Donald Trump flew to Iowa for a rally where he endorsed Sen. Grassley. Now, Mitch McConnell's allies are ready to spend whatever it takes of their $27 million campaign war chest to keep Iowa red.

We need to fight back NOW. How we respond now could determine whether or not Democrats lose control of the Senate. That's why we're asking for your help to meet this urgent mid-month fundraising deadline:

Will you rush a donation NOW to stop the radical right, flip Iowa blue and defend our Senate majority? We're still falling short of our mid-month fundraising goal of 500 more donations and have a hard deadline of 11:59 p.m. tonight.
