Friend, I wanted you to be among the first to know: We just launched a critical new ad about the need to protect every Senate vote for reproductive healthcare and freedom so we can prevent Mitch McConnell and the GOP from passing their nationwide abortion ban.

This ad emphasizes the urgency of this moment: Protecting and expanding Democratic Senate control is essential to preventing any further erosion of American women’s fundamental human rights and codifying Roe’s long-held protections for women into federal law.

The more voters who see this ad, the more we can mobilize our supporters to defend this seat and protect control of the Senate from those who would steal your privacy and personal liberty. I hope you’ll take a moment to watch, and then – importantly, if you support the message – chip in to help us keep broadcasting it to voters far and wide.

Ads like this are a powerful tool to reach voters who will decide this race – and to be frank, Friend, this is a must-win state. Mitch McConnell only has to flip a single seat to take back Senate control, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee has already made me a target for defeat.

There is simply too much at stake to cede control of our democracy to an extremist Republican Party – a party that could keep filling the courts with far-right judges who will only continue their attacks on long-held freedoms. Indeed, in conservative Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion overturning Roe, he suggested that the legal precedents protecting same-sex marriage and contraception should also be reconsidered by this extreme Supreme Court. The Senate Republican campaign arm is armed with a giant war chest to make this radical agenda a reality – which is why I urgently need your support to ensure we can keep reaching voters with our new ad and win this race.

My team tells me we need to raise another $15,000 by midnight tonight. I’ve counted on you in big moments before, and I know I can count on you to come through again today: So please, will you donate $5 or whatever you can spare to help us keep our new TV ad on the air? Your support is essential to protecting this seat and keeping the Senate under Democratic control.

Thank you,

Dick
