Friends,

Our race here in Michigan will decide Senate control, but last quarter, my right-wing opponent broke fundraising records: Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell helped him funnel millions into Michigan to defeat me.

I know we're not going to let Mitch McConnell buy Michigan's Senate seat and expand his chokehold on our democracy. We have what it takes to fight back – and with your help, friends, that's exactly what we're going to do. 

From where I stand, the importance of taking back the Senate has never been more clear. I hope you'll allow me a moment to explain why. 

If we win in Michigan and take back the Senate for Democrats, we'll be done with Mitch McConnell.

We'll also protect the future of the Supreme Court: That means protecting everything from reproductive freedoms and affordable health care to voting rights and climate change. And that means no more extremist justices like Brett Kavanaugh. 

I know what Democrats can do if we win. But our path to victory won't be easy – the polls show me statistically tied with my right-wing opponent.

The good news is that Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight reports that the Senate is up for grabs, but we must first win here in Michigan. And just recently, Cook Political Report, an independent election analysis database, increased my likelihood of losing.

With such razor-thin margins and Senate control on the line, every dollar matters when it comes to winning this race. That's why we set a goal to raise another $25,000 by midnight. And with time running out, we're only 84% of the way to goal.

Friends – will you pitch in whatever you can afford so we can win in Michigan, take back the Senate for Democrats and protect the future of the Supreme Court? Even just $3 will go a long way – you can use this link here: secure.actblue.com/donate/peters_email

Thank you,
