In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to add your first critically important donation to my campaign — a race that will decide Senate control. Can I have a minute of your time to explain why your support will make a big difference right now?

Ron Johnson is now flooding the airwaves with two new campaign ads, Republicans have more than $200 million to pour into Wisconsin, and Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC is reportedly “all-in” to keep this seat red. With the GOP ramping up their spending, we needed to respond — so we just launched our first TV ads, earlier than we expected.

I'll be frank: The money wasn’t in the budget, but my campaign manager made the case that if we want to defeat Ron Johnson and flip this Senate seat blue, we had to make a difficult decision here. So, our campaign put seven figures into a TV ad buy in every major market across Wisconsin.

It was a risky move, but letting Ron Johnson and the GOP drown us out on the airwaves was an even bigger risk. Unfortunately, going up on TV this early has created a budget gap — one that we have to close by March 31 to stay on the air.

That's why I'm sincerely asking:

Will you please make your first contribution to my campaign for U.S. Senate before our FEC end-of-quarter deadline to keep our ads on the air? I'm not taking a dime from corporate PACs, so the only way we can get back on track is with the help of this grassroots team.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

$3	$25
$50	$100
$250	Other

We knew we were going out on a limb with these ads, but it's what we needed to do. Wisconsin will be the tipping point for Senate control and major election forecasters like CNN, Roll Call, and The Cook Political Report are all saying Ron Johnson is vulnerable.

The most recent head-to-head polling of our race shows I'm the only Democrat who can beat Ron Johnson, but it won't be easy. He has more cash on hand than anyone in this race, and while we may get outspent in this election, we cannot afford to be outworked.

That’s why we need to get our message in front of as many Wisconsin voters as possible, but we can only do that if we have enough resources to stay up on TV.

Add a donation of any amount ahead of our first election-year FEC deadline to keep our ads on the air and help us compete with Ron Johnson. Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. Thank you in advance.

I’m so grateful to have you on our incredible grassroots team as we work to return this Senate seat to the people of Wisconsin. With your support, I know we will.
