Friends,

I've been through many tough elections in my life – but this time around, the stakes are higher than ever. Our race in Michigan will decide Senate control, and Republicans are doubling down to defeat me. 

Last fundraising quarter, my right-wing opponent outraised us, thanks to  Donald Trump and the Senate GOP helping funnel millions into Michigan to buy this seat and expand Mitch McConnell's grip on the Senate.

But you know what? Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell don't scare me. I was born and raised in Michigan. I've been fighting for the people of my state for decades, and I won't back down for a second. 

In fact, I'll fight harder than ever – but with polls showing this race tied, and Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight reporting the Senate is up for grabs, I need your help if we're going to win in Michigan and take back the Senate for Democrats.

With our fundraising deadline just hours away, we're falling dangerously short of our goal – that's why a generous group of donors will be matching all gifts dollar for dollar – but only until midnight tonight.

In a race this close, hitting or missing this goal could determine Senate control, so – with just hours left until midnight – I'm counting on your immediate contribution:

Please, will you rush $3 or more right now – before tonight's midnight deadline – and have every dollar doubled to defend Michigan's Senate seat, take back the Senate and protect the future of the Supreme Court?

Thank you,

Gary
