Listen up, friend. 

Democrats cannot defend our Senate majority without defending Nevada. And we cannot defend Nevada without your immediate grassroots donation to hit our midnight fundraising goal. It's simple math. Will you rush $5 now to defend our razor-thin Senate majority, friend?

Sorry to be so blunt, friend, but these are the facts: A recent poll shows Catherine LOSING to her Trump-endorsed opponent by 3 points. It's clear that the more than $4 million extremist Republicans have thrown into attack ads is working – and unfortunately, they're just getting started. That's why The Cook Political Report just downgraded this race to a TOSS-UP.

I've been involved in dozens of Senate races – on both the winning and losing ends – and here's my assessment of Nevada's race at this critical moment: Catherine is down but not out. She can turn this around, but only with YOUR support, friend.

That's why I'm reaching out today with this urgent request: Will you donate today to help Catherine reach her $50,000 midnight goal and keep Nevada blue? As of 6 p.m., Catherine is still $8,141 short, and if she misses this goal, she won't have the resources it takes to fight back and defend this seat and we risk losing the Senate.

Please, rush $5 or more before midnight to help Catherine defeat her Trump-endorsed opponent, protect Nevada's critical seat and defend our Democratic Senate majority.

Grassroots support really is going to make all the difference in this must-win race, friend. Thanks for chipping in.
