Did you see Chris' message, friend?

Mitch McConnell and his billionaire donors are desperately working to beat Chris. Can he count on you to rush a donation before his first end-of-month deadline of 2022 to make sure we're ready to defend the Senate and protect our democracy?

Subject: this moment is different

Friends,

Some folks want us to believe that the political debates and battles we are having today are no different than the jockeying that has always been part of our political discourse.

But that’s not true. This moment is different — and much more dangerous. And we need to be ready to work together and stand up for what we believe in.

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

For the first time since the Civil War, one major party is actively working to undermine our democratic process. And I'm not just talking about January 6th and the Trump insurrectionists. I’m talking about the 19 GOP-controlled states that are enacting laws to make it harder to cast votes and allowing partisans to interfere with the vote count. And about what we just saw one week ago when EVERY SINGLE Republican Senator voted to use the current filibuster rule to prevent a majority vote on the Freedom to Vote and John Lewis Voting Rights bills.

And something else is different — the enormous influence of secret money in our elections. America's billionaires are altogether worth over $5 trillion today. And under our current campaign finance laws, any one of them can give UNLIMITED secret money to shadowy groups trying to defeat elected officials they disagree with.

The bottom line: McConnell and his dark money allies want to beat me this November so they can call the shots and advance their own special interests, not the public interest we are fighting for. And we need to be ready to stop them.

I know that with hard work, action and conviction we can prevail. Please click here to donate before our critical end-of-month deadline on Monday at midnight to help make sure we're ready to fight back and win!

Thank you for all that you do,

Chris
