Folks, in just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution ahead of our last FEC fundraising deadline of the year. But first, I want to explain the situation:

I know you probably hear this all the time, but next year’s election is going to be one of the most important in our lifetimes. So much is at stake: from our continued progress on passing the Build Back Better Act, to immigration reform, to protecting reproductive rights and fighting against voter suppression.

But right now, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are activating their right-wing special interest donor network — and they’re getting organized and preparing for 2022.

Not only are they pouring millions into shady dark money groups to attack my Democratic colleagues up and down the ballot — they’re using lies and misinformation to stoke fear and divide us so they can flip the Senate and take back power.

I’ve always said that New Mexico is worth fighting for, and to keep building on our progress, we need to protect and expand the Democrats' majority in the Senate. We’ve got to match their urgency and lay the groundwork right now so we can stand strong against whatever they throw our way.

With our FEC deadline coming up on Friday at midnight, I’m humbly asking you to make a year-end donation of any amount to help put us in the strongest position possible going into a midterm election year.

Will you make a donation of $10 or any amount today? Your contribution will support my work in Washington and help defend Democratic Senators who are up for re-election next November.

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

Mitch McConnell and Republicans are determined to turn back the clocks on our rights, our values, and our democracy. That’s why we have to get to work right now, and why I’m so thankful for having you on my side.

Con gratitud,

Ben Ray
