John – it's Abby. Can I have just one minute of your time to ask you to make your first donation to my campaign before our most important FEC reporting deadline at 11:59 p.m. tonight?

There are a million reasons why this campaign is worth fighting for, but let me share just a few of the ones that are most on my mind right now:

This campaign is worth fighting for because polling has revealed that 64% of likely Iowa voters do NOT want to reelect Sen. Grassley.

This campaign is worth fighting for because, right now, Sen. Grassley is also facing a RECORD-HIGH disapproval rating.

This campaign is worth fighting for because, after seven terms in the Senate, Sen. Grassley has left working families, like my own, behind.

This campaign is worth fighting for because I promise that nobody – nobody – will work harder than I will to defeat Sen. Grassley and protect our Democratic Senate majority.

I know you care about this race, and your support means the world to me. Because of your belief in my campaign, we're able to truly compete. Because of you, we're going to defeat Sen. Grassley and expand our Senate majority.

But I don't want to sugarcoat things here: We still haven't raised what we need before tonight's deadline – the biggest public FEC fundraising deadline of my campaign so far. So, if you share in my belief that this campaign is worth fighting for, can you make a contribution right now?

Donate $5 or more right now to help me defeat Sen. Grassley and protect our Senate majority. Every donation gets us that much closer to hitting our most important fundraising deadline all year, so please chip in whatever you can right now.

Thank you for all that you do. It means the world to me.

– Abby
