Friend – it's Gary, and as chair of the DSCC, I'm excited to share a major announcement in our work to defeat Republicans and expand our Senate majority. This announcement has to do with you, friend, so please, can you take a minute to read this email?

We just launched an amazing new resource, DefendTheSenate.org, a hub for grassroots supporters like you to get involved in defending and expanding our Democratic Senate majority in 2022. It's a centralized resource with everything you need to know about the most critical races this cycle – and how you can help Democrats win them.

This online action center has the power to be an incredibly effective resource, but only if grassroots activists like you take advantage of it and share it within your networks.

That's why I'm emailing you today: We've set a goal to raise $100,000 in the next five days to show Senate Republicans we're serious about defending our majority. This is an ambitious goal, so I'm counting on you to kickstart our fundraising. Please, before 11:59 p.m. tonight, can you head over to DefendTheSenate.org right now and make a donation to help the Democrats on the frontlines of defending our majority?

Democrats have been busy delivering for the American people since we flipped the Senate in 2020. We've already made a historic investment in our infrastructure, secured tax cuts for 35 million families and created millions of good-paying jobs. But our majority is razor-thin, meaning Mitch McConnell only needs to flip ONE seat to take back control and sabotage all the incredible progress we've made.

I refuse to let the GOP take back the Senate, push their far-right agendas and advance the interests of corporations and special interests over American families at every turn – but I need you to stand with me on this one.

The election may feel far away, but trust me, it takes a lot of time and work to build campaigns that can win in battleground states like Georgia, Florida and Arizona. The only way we're going to protect and expand our Senate majority is with grassroots supporters just like you getting involved early so that we can hit critical goals just like this one.

So please, will you head over to DefendTheSenate.org right now to join our team and donate whatever you can to help us reach our $100,000 goal? The midterm election will be a fight for the future of our country, friend. Please don't sit this one out.

Thanks for chipping in today, now let's get out there and keep the Senate out of Mitch McConnell’s control.

– Gary
