Hi John, it's Amanda, Abby's campaign manager. Don't worry, I'll keep this short.

I wanted to make sure you saw this message from Abby. Abby is a fighter – through and through. Every single day, I watch her fight for this campaign, fight for working families and fight for Iowa.

Now, new polling shows Sen. Grassley is more vulnerable than ever before – but she's counting on grassroots supporters like you to take her across the finish line. So please, can you pitch in right now to capitalize on this moment so we can win in Iowa and expand our Democratic majority?

Thanks for having Abby's back.

– Amanda (Abby's campaign manager)

Subject: he is weak

John – right now, the Senate is split 50-50, meaning Mitch McConnell and his allies only have to flip ONE seat to take back control. I can stop them right here in Iowa, but the GOP is sitting on $41.6 MILLION to defeat challengers like me and flip the Senate red.

After polling revealed that 64% of likely Iowa voters do NOT want to reelect Sen. Grassley (R-IA) to an eighth term, he's now ONCE AGAIN facing record-low approval ratings! Sen. Grassley has never been this vulnerable.

Don't just take it from me: Iowa's TOP pollster pointed to "weakness" all the way back in November and these approval ratings remain at their lowest in four decades. Iowans are turning away from Sen. Grassley and looking for new leadership like never before. There's real momentum here on the ground and we've got to take advantage of it.

Democrats will only stop McConnell and his allies from taking back the Senate if we go on the offensive – and that starts in Iowa. But I'm up against the entire force of the GOP establishment so I'm counting on your grassroots support. 

Please, before my next midnight fundraising deadline, will you rush $5 – or whatever you can spare – to help me compete with GOP spending, defeat Sen. Grassley and keep Senate control out of McConnell and his allies' hands?

This race is really critical, so thank you for having my back here.
