Hi, John. It's Daniel, Abby Finkenauer's husband. Abby's got a pretty urgent deadline tonight, so could I have just a couple of minutes of your day to explain why this is so important and why Abby's campaign against Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) is worth fighting for? 

I married Abby for a million reasons, but at the core of what I love about Abby is her love for her community, her unyielding commitment to the values she holds dear and her ability to always rise above a challenge. 

She'll truly do anything to make life better for the people she loves, for her community and for the families living in Iowa. That's why she chose to run for the Iowa House, then served in the U.S. House of Representatives – and that’s why she’s now running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. She's putting in the hours to travel all across Iowa to meet people where they live and learn what matters to them. 

To put it another way, Abby is the real deal. She's in this fight for all the right reasons, and no one will work harder than she will to defeat Sen. Grassley and expand our Democratic Senate majority. 

Abby is counting on committed supporters like you to believe in her campaign and get her across the finish line. That's where Abby's deadline comes in. Sen. Grassley is facing record-low approval ratings, but right now, the GOP already has more than $39 million in the bank to take back the Senate and defeat challengers like Abby. 

I promise you that Abby's campaign is worth fighting for, but we'll only win this thing if we're hitting critical goals like this one. Abby's still $9,875 short of where she needs to be, so please, can you donate $5 right now to defeat Sen. Grassley, expand our Senate majority and send Abby to the Senate?

Thanks for believing in Abby. It means the world to us!

Daniel (Abby's husband)
