John,

Here's the deal:

• Everyone -- from Cook Political Report and The Kansas City Star to Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight and Politico -- is calling Laura the most vulnerable Democrat up for re-election this year.
   
• Inside Elections rated our race a "TOSS-UP."
   
• And worst of all, a new GOP poll showed Laura's opponent has taken the lead.

But here's how we plan to win: We're recruiting an army of grassroots donors -- at all levels -- and making strategic investments to fight back against false attacks and get out the vote.

Will you rush a donation to help us ramp up our engagement and reach more voters right now? Please, chip in whatever you can before the May 31 end-of-month deadline.

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

Here's why we need your support now: The coming months of Laura's re-election campaign are some of the most crucial.

Laura's opponent and his national special interest allies have made it clear Laura is their top target. They're trying to wipe us out on the airwaves right now so that it's nearly impossible to catch up in the fall.

We're fighting back using the contributions that people like you have already made, but we need to refill the well with continued support and additional donors. We can't wait for someone else to start paying attention -- we need you now.

So please, rush your donation today and help us make more strategic investments in this campaign and the future of Kansas. Chip in to help Laura close the gap before the May end-of-month deadline.

Thanks for your support,

Shelbi Dantic
Campaign Manager
Laura Kelly for Kansas
