Why today?

We hope you understand that these fundraising emails are a sign of just how important grassroots supporters like you are to keeping this campaign on track to re-elect Chris and defend our Senate majority.

But why is today’s email different? Why is today the day it's so important to make your first donation to Chris's campaign?

Please give us a chance to explain:

This month, Chris is facing the first official FEC deadline since he filed for re-election, which means we have to publicly report our fundraising numbers when it ends.

On top of that, Mitch McConnell still has time to recruit a big money candidate to try and flip this seat and take back the Senate majority.

We don’t know if he’ll be able to, but nothing less than control of the Senate is at stake, so we need to be prepared for anything that comes our way:

So we are sincerely asking:

Can you please make your first $3 contribution to Chris Van Hollen's re-election today? Your donation will be put immediately to work defending this Maryland Senate seat and holding the Democratic Senate majority.

This is a historic moment and we need to work harder than ever to meet the challenges of our day.

With your support we're going to defend this seat, maintain our majority in the Senate, and continue the fight for Marylanders and working families across the country.

Thank you again. For everything.
