Hello,

After I won the Democratic nomination for Senate against Chuck Grassley here in Iowa, my campaign saw an incredible surge of donations. But since then, our online fundraising has really slowed down…

I’ll be honest: This is really not good. Fox “News” and Chuck Grassley have started shamelessly attacking me and my military service, and I cannot fight back if we don’t have the resources to counter their lies.

The early polls show this will be an incredibly close race – just 27% of Iowa voters want to reelect Chuck Grassley – and if we win and turn Iowa blue, Democrats are guaranteed to hold onto our Senate majority for another two years.

But I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money, so if we’re going to send Grassley packing and turn Iowa blue this November, I need grassroots donors like you to give right now:

I am urgently asking: Please, will you chip in $5 or more right now – every dollar you can afford before our critical fundraising deadline at midnight tonight – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

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

Whether or not we turn things around now could chart the course for the remainder of this campaign.

Thank you for stepping up during this important moment,

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