John —

In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to my re-election campaign. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today — is so important to our chances.

Here’s the truth:

One week from today we close the books on one of the final FEC fundraising deadlines before people start voting.

The pundits and our opponents will all be wondering how much money we’ve raised and how many donations we’ve received. And we’re going to tell them — and you.

But what we’re trying to do is even more important than that: We’re building the kind of campaign that can take on the entire National Republican establishment and win.

That requires considerable financial resources. And after this deadline hits, we’ll take stock of them and make a lot of important spending decisions — decisions that will decide the fate of this campaign.

So with this deadline fast approaching, I’m asking:

Can you please make a $3 contribution to our campaign before this FEC fundraising deadline comes to a close? I would not ask if it were not so important.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:

We are in a great position to win this race. The polls are close and our organization is strong. But the attacks we have yet to face will be unprecedented — and we have to be ready. And if you chip in to help, I know we will be.

Thank you,

Mark Kelly
