Hi there, I’ll be honest: In a minute, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign ahead of tonight’s end-of-month deadline. But first, I hope you will give me a chance to explain why this request is so important — especially right now.

The holiday season is notoriously a tough time for fundraising. Folks are spending more time offline celebrating and catching up with their families, friends, and loved ones — as they should be!

But the truth is, we can’t afford to become complacent. Midterm elections are historically disastrous for the president’s party. Back in 2010, Democrats lost six seats in the Senate and 63 seats in the House during President Obama’s first term, and did not regain both majorities for another decade.

As Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell turned the Senate into a legislative graveyard — refusing to work with President Obama and allowing more than 500 critical bills to pile up and collect dust on his desk.

Now, he’s going to do (and spend!) whatever it takes to flip the one seat he needs to reclaim the Senate majority and block our progress. With so much critical work still ahead, we can’t let him.

This will be an uphill battle, but this incredible grassroots team knows how to win a tough fight. Democrats, myself included, need your help to lead us all to victory again. That’s why I’m asking:

Team, will you help us build the resources to keep Mitch McConnell from reclaiming the Senate majority in 2022?
