John,

I just wanted to reach out personally to say thank you for being a part of my grassroots movement to defeat Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and protect our Democratic Senate majority.

Thanks to you, we are ready to take advantage of record-low approval ratings and polling that shows only 27% of likely Iowa voters would reelect Sen. Grassley. If we defeat him, you'll have helped elect the youngest woman ever to the U.S. Senate – a woman who will fight every day to lift up the voices of working families. 

A win in Iowa would also virtually guarantee a Democratic Senate majority.

Right now, we are facing the biggest test for our campaign yet: our first public FEC reporting deadline of the election year – where our fundraising numbers will be made public. Everybody from Mitch McConnell and his allies to the political pundits and Sen. Grassley himself will be watching to see if we actually have the resources to flip Iowa's Senate seat.

I know we can pull it off, but here's what it's going to take: raising $100,000 before the month is up. That's why I'm reaching out to supporters like you. I know you may have been waiting to chip in your hard-earned dollars, but right now is mission critical. Can you spare a first-time donation of $5 today so I can defeat Sen. Grassley and protect Democratic Senate control?

Thanks so much. I'll be sure to keep you updated on where we're at. This is a big moment for our campaign, so I appreciate you stepping up.

Abby
