Hi friend,

Dan Kildee here. Now that our first TV ad of the election is officially live, we’re looking to our Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing deadline TONIGHT.

Michigan is once again a make-or-break battleground state. This is our most important fundraising deadline to date. It's our first public filing report since our opponents for Congress launched a string of negative attack ads against us and an important marker of our strength as we enter the last few months of the election.

Friend, all eyes are on us. Because of redistricting, our race is one of the most competitive in the entire country, and it’s all hands on deck. Friend, Debbie thought that you might be willing to step up and help.

We need to raise $25,000 by midnight tonight — when the books close for our big FEC deadline. Every dollar is important to powering our summer of all-out campaigning enabling us to stand up to the extremist dark money groups that want to turn Michigan bright red. Chip in a split $25 between Debbie’s and my campaign to push us closer to our goal:

National Republicans have spotted the opportunity, and they’re leading a massive, coordinated attack to flip my seat and take control of Congress. And friend, they’ve got the money to back it up.

It’s up to us to prove we can win despite those hurdles — and show our opponents and their dark money groups that mid-Michigan is NOT for sale.

Like Debbie, I’m fighting day in, day out to deliver for mid-Michigan. From protecting our Great Lakes and cleaning up our drinking water to lowering costs of everyday necessities like prescription drugs and gasoline and improving our supply chains to make more things in Michigan.

All of us here in Michigan are working hard to connect with every last voter. But that work takes time, hustle, and resources — and we can’t do it without you.

I’m all in, friend, and I’m asking you to join me and Debbie to keep Michigan BLUE. Chip in $25 right now to tell our opponents Mid-Michigan is not for sale.

Thank you so much for your continued support,

Dan
