I believe wholeheartedly in our democracy, John, and I can tell you that while every election – every vote – matters, I genuinely can't think of a time when there has been more on the line. 

Maintaining our Senate majority has never been more important. To make sure that Democrats win in November, I need to hear from you about what is on your mind and what will be bringing you to the polls. Do you have a moment to take my new Democratic Priorities Survey to help inform our party's strategy heading into the midterms? Your participation here would mean so much to me.

I'm deeply worried about the future of our country. I've spent my entire adult life in public service: as a veteran, a congressman, a governor, and now a U.S. senator. I've joined countless others to fight to defend our democracy and move our country forward. But today, out-of-touch extremists are threatening to undo so much of the progress we've worked for.

We can still stop them from turning back the clock – but only if we come together with a shared vision for our future. That's why I'm reaching out to you today.

To win the future that we want, we must fight for it. For me, that means ensuring that the next generation inherits a habitable earth. It means keeping health care quality high and costs low. It means preserving America's natural beauty, and it means investing in our infrastructure. But to build a truly united grassroots movement, I need to know what issues matter to you and your family, and what it means to you to build our future. 

So please, could you take just a minute to respond to my Democratic Priorities Survey and help lead Democratic strategy and messaging as we head into the midterms? To meet my goal, we need another 84 responses before 11:59 p.m. tonight, so I'm really counting on you.

I've seen what happens when we let the wrong people lead our country – but I've also seen what happens when grassroots activists unite to demand and create change.

I'm so grateful to have you with me in this fight.
