Hello,

Everyone’s texting me all at once. Chuck Grassley just launched his first major TV ad campaign against us!

My team is still finding out how big of an ad buy it is, but this much is clear: Chuck Grassley is afraid; he is ‘hunkering down,’ as we say in military lingo.

He’s seen the polling showing he’s in trouble. He’s seen our ads and yard signs all over the state. And he’s seen the power of our grassroots campaign thanks to donors like you.

But here’s the thing: Chuck Grassley has nearly $4 million in the bank. Corporate PACs and special interests have been his lifeblood – he’s a bought and paid for senator. And his massive campaign war chest means he can go up on TV now and never come down.

Senate control is going to be decided here in Iowa, and there’s only one way we can fight back and win. I’m counting on grassroots donors like you to chip in right now to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority.

This is the most important moment of the entire campaign so far. We’ve set a $50,000 emergency rapid response fundraising goal, and we cannot fall short. Not if we’re going to defeat Grassley and turn Iowa blue.

Please, will you use this link to give now and help me fight back?

The campaign is about to kick into high gear, and we cannot let up – not even for one second – if we’re going to defeat Chuck Grassley this November.

I’m so grateful for everything you do,

Mike Franken, U.S. Navy (ret.)
