We need to talk about Catherine Cortez Masto's must-win race in Nevada, friend:

National Journal named Catherine the most vulnerable senator up for reelection in November, which likely makes her the GOP's top target for defeat. And because Republicans need to flip only one seat to reclaim their Senate majority, their shady dark-money allies are pouring money into Nevada to prop up her far-right opponent.

Keeping Senate control out of Mitch McConnell's hands comes down to keeping Nevada blue. So as Catherine goes up against an opponent with the full backing of Donald Trump and his megadonor network, she needs every bit of grassroots support she can get. 

That's why today, ahead of the first FEC deadline of the election year, I'm asking for your help to raise $5,000 by midnight tonight: Will you split a donation of $5 or more between Catherine Cortez Masto's campaign and my campaign to defend Nevada's must-win battleground seat and our razor-thin Senate majority along with it?

From taking on the Big Banks that wreaked havoc on working families as Nevada's attorney general to making history as the first Latina ever elected to the U.S. Senate when many thought she had no chance of winning, Catherine has overcome long odds before. And with your help, she can do it again.

But as the GOP blankets the airwaves with more than $4 million in attack ads to defeat her, she needs immediate grassroots support to fight back. So please, can Catherine count on you to step up before midnight? Every dollar makes a difference:

Friend, I'm personally asking you to split a contribution of $5 or more right now between my campaign and Catherine Cortez Masto's before our end-of-quarter deadline to make sure she has the resources to keep Nevada blue and defend the Senate for Democrats.

Your support will be absolutely crucial to keeping this seat – and the Senate – blue. Thank you for doing your part.

Sincerely,
Sheldon Whitehouse
