Team,

In just a moment, we're going to ask you to make a contribution to Chris Van Hollen's campaign for re-election to the United States Senate. But first, we would like to let you know why your contribution is so important, especially this month.

You see, March is not only an official FEC deadline month which means we are required to report to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) how much we've raised over the past three months; but it is now also the last candidate filing month after a Maryland Court extended the deadline for an extra four weeks. That means Mitch McConnell still has plenty of time to recruit a billionaire Republican candidate to challenge our Senate re-election here in Maryland.

That’s why it’s so important we show we are ready for whatever they throw at us. This is the first time we must publicly report our fundraising totals since Chris filed to run for re-election and we want everyone to see the strength and commitment of the grassroots supporters behind him.

So it's important for us to have as many small-dollar contributions as possible this month. That's where you come in, friend.

Can you make a $3 contribution to Chris’s re-election campaign today? A lot of donations this month from grassroots supporters like you would send a strong message, and it would mean a lot if you could add yours. [[link removed]]

The truth is that we have important work to do to protect our democracy and address the challenges we face. And the 2022 elections will decide our future course. We want to leave no doubt that Democrats here in Maryland and across the country are fired up about continuing our fight for lower costs for Americans, a better and more inclusive economy with good-paying jobs, and a clean energy future.

That's why it's not the amount that you choose to donate that matters most — it's your donation itself.

Because your donation sends a powerful message that you stand with Chris and want to see him continue to take on the gun lobby, Big Pharma, dark money, and every other special interest group that is trying to prevent us from making progress.

And what you may not know is that most of our donations come in through emails just like this one. So that's why we ask:

If you're able, can you please make a $3 donation today to power Chris Van Hollen's campaign for re-election? Every donation helps demonstrate the strength of this grassroots team. [[link removed]]

Thank you in advance for donating whatever you can today. It means a lot to us during this very important month.

Thank you for all that you do.

Team Van Hollen
