Good morning, John. Mark Kelly here.

I’m writing to you today to humbly ask if you can make a contribution before our first fundraising deadline of the year ends at midnight tonight. This is a big one, and we can’t come up short.

If you understand the stakes of this election and are ready to chip in today, you can use this link:

Please contribute $3 to my re-election campaign by clicking here.

Otherwise, let me explain why this request is so important:

This is going to be one of the closest Senate races of the year. CNN says it’s one of the most likely to flip.

Corporate special interest groups are spending millions to beat us and Donald Trump is telling his supporters “taking back America starts with kicking Mark Kelly the hell out of the Senate.”

It will also be one of the most expensive races in the country. And because I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money, I need a ton of donations to push back against these attacks.

And all along the way, we have to hit a series of deadline goals to keep pace. Tonight is one of those deadlines, and we’re not at our goals just yet.

So, please:

Can I count on you to make a $3 contribution to my re-election campaign before our first fundraising deadline of the year ends at midnight tonight? I would not ask if it were not so important.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:

Thank you in advance for contributing. Especially today.

Mark Kelly
