Friend, only two generations separate a baker born in Mexico and the first Latina ever elected to the U.S. Senate.

My grandpa crossed the Rio Grande, proudly fought for America in WWII, and then settled in Nevada to build a family. This is the document he received when he became a U.S. citizen:

I carry his story with me every single day. He knew that America was a place where, through hard work and determination, people could build a better life for themselves and their families. I’m living proof that the American dream he believed in is still alive, and in the Senate, I’m fighting every day to keep it that way.

So as the first Latina senator in America’s 245-year history, I’m not about to let Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump replace me with a dangerous, far-right extremist.

Unfortunately, back-to-back polls show me down, and GOP attack ads are flooding Nevada’s airwaves to defeat me and put McConnell back in charge. I’m humbly asking you to chip in $5 before it’s too late.

With the Senate split 50-50, Mitch McConnell only needs to flip one seat to retake control, and I’m his top target:

FIRST: Mitch McConnell’s allies poured over $4 million into vicious attack ads to defeat me. 

THEN: The Cook Political Report officially downgraded my chances of winning to toss-up, and CNN called me one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection.

NOW: Recent polling shows me losing by 3 points, and as of 9 a.m., I’m falling dangerously short of my emergency fundraising goal.

I’m personally counting on your $5 to help close our fundraising gap before midnight. Falling short could cost me this race and could cost Democrats the Senate, so please:

Will you rush a $5 donation right now to help me close the polling gap, defeat Donald Trump’s endorsed candidate and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

Thank you so much for pitching in, friend. Your help means so much to me.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
