Hello,

After midnight tonight, we'll pull together a report of how much we have raised to turn Iowa blue in ‘22. We have done very well, but with less than 16 hours left until my first end-of-month deadline of the year, we’re still $14,806 short of our $250,000 goal needed to defeat Chuck Grassley.

This is the most important deadline of the campaign by far: Please, may I count on you to chip in $5 or more right now – before the end-of-month deadline at midnight tonight – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

This is a race we can win. Iowa was one of the closest Senate races in the country in 2020, and polling from the highly-respected Des Moines Register confirms that only 27% of Iowa voters want to reelect Chuck Grassley!

But the Super PACs are lurking. Mitch McConnell is piling millions of dollars into Super PACs to attack me and put Republicans back in charge. We cannot allow that to happen.

I need grassroots donors like you to help us hit every goal – and we still have $14,806 left to raise before the end-of-month deadline at midnight tonight.

I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t hugely important: I need donors like you to chip in $5 right now – more if you can afford it – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate.

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

On behalf of my campaign team, Iowans everywhere, and the Democratic Senate majority, thank you.
