Friend -- I've got bad news for you: It's about former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

I emailed you last week after he jumped into the Alabama Senate race against my friend Doug Jones. Since then, he's only picked up momentum, with endorsements coming in from at least 11 Republican senators and dark money sure to follow.

With Jeff Sessions surging, we need to step up right now to protect Alabama's Senate seat and win the majority in 2020. Will you make sure that Doug and I can fight back?

We can't let Jeff Sessions get ahead. We need to show that Democrats from across the country are ready to stick up for Doug and are dedicated to winning back the Senate in 2020.

Thank you for standing with us in the fight,

- Maria

Subject: Doug Jones needs our help.

Friend -- defeating my colleague Doug Jones would be Mitch McConnell's dream.

Since his stunning win in Alabama's special election in 2017, Doug has been a force in the Senate for protecting healthcare, equality, and election security.

But Mitch McConnell desperately wants to beat him -- because he knows that without Doug Jones, our chances of winning the Senate are slim.

So he dredged up a ghost from the past: Jeff Sessions, Trump's former Attorney General, just announced he is running against Doug next year. His presence could turn this race upside down.

We need to show that Doug is ready for anything, especially a campaign against a polarizing and divisive figure like Jeff Sessions. Will you split a contribution between Doug's campaign and ours to help win this seat and take back the Senate in 2020?

In addition to Jeff Sessions -- who made himself notorious for his attacks on civil rights, immigration, and voting rights -- Doug is also facing another fierce challenge from Roy Moore. Yes, that Roy Moore.

Mitch McConnell and right-wing special interest groups see this as their chance to knock down a champion for affordable healthcare, fair wages, and equality.

With your help we can prove them wrong -- and win back the Senate in 2020. Please make a contribution to help Doug respond today.

Thank you,

Maria Cantwell
