Hi there, John. It's Amanda, Abby's Campaign Manager. I only have a second, but this is critical. We're still $33,150 short of what we need to raise before the most important FEC reporting deadline of this campaign. It's a huge test to show we have the strength to defeat Chuck Grassley (R).

Hitting this goal is the only way that we'll have the resources to run ads, put up yard signs and talk to the swing voters who will decide this election. So, on behalf of Abby, I'm asking again: please, can you rush $5 right now to defeat Grassley and protect our Senate majority? Here's the best link to give: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/abby-finkenauer-email

Thanks,

Amanda Sands (Abby's Campaign Manager)

John – it's Abby. Can I have just one minute of your time to ask you to make your first donation to my campaign tonight?

There are a million reasons why this campaign is worth fighting for, but let me share just a few of the ones that are most on my mind right now:

This campaign is worth fighting for because polling has revealed that 64% of likely Iowa voters do NOT want to reelect Sen. Grassley.

This campaign is worth fighting for because, right now, Sen. Grassley is also facing a RECORD-HIGH disapproval rating.

This campaign is worth fighting for because, after seven terms in the Senate, Sen. Grassley has left working families, like my own, behind.

This campaign is worth fighting for because I promise that nobody – nobody – will work harder than I will to defeat Sen. Grassley and protect our Democratic Senate majority.

I know you care about this race, and your support means the world to me. Thanks to your belief in my campaign, we're able to truly compete. Thanks to you, we're going to defeat Sen. Grassley and expand our Senate majority.

I don't want to sugarcoat things though – with Republicans attacking me and trying to kick me off the ballot, hitting these grassroots fundraising goals is more important than ever. So, if you share my belief that this campaign is worth fighting for, can you make a contribution right now?

Donate $5 or more right now to help me defeat Sen. Grassley and protect our Senate majority. Every donation gets us that much closer to flipping this seat blue, so please chip in whatever you can right now.

Thank you for all that you do. It means the world to me.

– Abby
