Friend, I’m the most vulnerable Senate Democrat up for reelection this year, and I need your help:

While my potential opponent, Herschel Walker (R), is busy aligning himself with Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, I've been fighting in the Senate for our progressive priorities – from voting rights to climate justice and more.

Experts at POLITICO say that Democrats' best chance of defending our razor-thin majority hinges on keeping Georgia blue – but while Walker has relied on GOP megadonors to raise nearly $10 million to try and buy this seat, I'm running a people-powered campaign that depends on grassroots support. That's why I'm urgently calling on 15,000 top supporters to join me on the front lines of this fight by becoming 2022 Election Year Members today.

Please, will you give $5 or more now to become one of the key Election Year Members we need to keep Georgia and the Senate blue? The only way we can win this battleground race is by building an unprecedented grassroots movement full of folks like you.

Here's why this is so important: Experts at NBC News not only confirm that Georgia is the number one battleground of 2022 – they're saying that I'm the GOP's top target for defeat. That's why Trump and McConnell are pulling out all the stops to flip my seat red. They know that if they win here, they can retake Senate control.

National Republicans have already started flooding the airwaves with nasty attack ads to smear my record and crush our people-powered campaign – and unfortunately, these attacks could be having a major impact: A new poll shows me falling 1 point BEHIND!

I know we have what it takes to prove the pundits wrong – we've done it before, and we can do it again. But with the midterm elections rapidly approaching, I can't pull ahead and defend my critical seat unless every single member of this grassroots team is fighting alongside me.

Friend – if you care about keeping Georgia blue, defending our razor-thin majority, and protecting the future of our democracy, I need you to claim your Election Year Membership right now: Will you give $5 or more – as much as you can spare by midnight tonight – to become an Election Year Member of our people-powered campaign?

Thank you for standing with me.
