Friend, if even one seat flips red in November, the GOP will regain Senate control – which is why Mitch McConnell and his allies are watching my campaign closely for any sign of vulnerability.
But before I continue, I want to take a moment to share how grateful I am for your continued support. When it matters most, I can always count on you to step up. Thank you.
With our critical end-of-month fundraising deadline quickly approaching, we’re forecasted to fall $2,461 short of what we need to stay on track.
But we cannot ignore the urgency of this moment: we cannot signal to Mitch McConnell and the entire GOP establishment that they should target Connecticut’s Senate seat. We cannot allow ourselves to fall into that position – not when so much is at stake.
Not when the Republicans in the Senate blocked a defensive violence prevention bill that the House passed just days ago in response to this country’s endless gun violence epidemic.1
Not when Oklahoma has banned abortion outright. And a new women’s healthcare clinic in Casper, Wyoming, has been torched right before it opens.2
Not when millions are expected to be stripped of their reproductive healthcare at any given moment by the Trump-weighted Supreme Court, and GOP leaders like Mitch McConnell are weighing the possibility of a national abortion ban if they retake Senate control.
Not when I’m facing radical opponents who – if elected – will be a rubber stamp on disastrous policies like tax hikes on millions of seniors and low-income Americans.
A Republican majority would be a nightmare for our country. That’s why coming up short on big goals like this is simply not an option. So please, I’m counting on you to help me close this budget gap and ensure we have the resources to bolster our campaign operations to defend this seat – for safety from gun violence, reproductive rights, accountability for Donald Trump, and so much more.
I know you’re someone who cares deeply about protecting Senate control, so I hope you’ll come through today in this critical moment for our nation: Please, before my end-of-month deadline, will you donate $5 or more to defend this Senate seat and keep the Senate sane? Every bit of grassroots support will make a critical difference in the challenging months ahead.
With so much gratitude,
Dick
