[1]Mandela Barnes for Wisconsin

When I decided to run for U.S. Senate, I knew that my path here would be different than most.

I don't come from a wealthy family. I didn't enter this race with a bunch of wealthy donors lining up to write big checks to this campaign.

My mom was a public school teacher and my dad built catalytic converters at the General Motors plant. Those jobs were our family's ticket to the middle class.

Ever since I was a little kid, my parents taught me that with hard work and determination, I could do anything I set my mind to. It was how I graduated high school at the age of 16 and went on to be elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly when I was 25.

Then, after careful thought and consideration, I decided to get in this race to defeat Ron Johnson.

It was a big decision. I knew that this was going to be one of the most competitive Senate races in the entire country and it is a race we must win if we're going to defend the Democratic Senate majority.

But I was willing to bet that if I decided to run, people would come together in large numbers to be a part of this campaign. Because the truth is that no single person can flip Wisconsin's Senate seat alone. It will only happen if we're in this together.

So with our next FEC fundraising deadline coming up just one week from today, I need your help to reach the fundraising goals we've set for our campaign.

These goals are not arbitrary. They're what we need to raise to flip Wisconsin's Senate seat for Democrats.

So I am asking:

Can you please make a contribution to my campaign for U.S. Senate today? Any amount you can give before the FEC deadline will make a big difference.

Once we file our fundraising numbers, a lot of people are going to be waiting to see what numbers we report. And it's important that our fundraising report sends an unmistakable message about the grassroots strength of this campaign.

That's why your contribution today is so important. Thank you for chipping in if you can afford it.

All my best,

Mandela
