Hello,

This is the biggest news of the entire campaign: A new poll shows we are now just 5 points behind Chuck Grassley – and in a statistically TIED race within the margin of error!

We have an historic opportunity to end Chuck Grassley’s 47-year career in Washington. But in order to win, we need to raise another $350,000 before our mid-month deadline – and right now we’re still falling dangerously short.

If we defeat Grassley and turn Iowa blue this November, Democrats are guaranteed to protect – and even expand – our 50-50 Senate majority. But Chuck Grassley is taking millions from corporate PACs, and Mitch McConnell is raising even more into Super PACs to attack me.

This is a race we can and must win, but I’m counting on grassroots donors like you to give now:

Please, will you chip in $5 or more right now – every dollar you can afford before our critical mid-month fundraising deadline – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

This poll confirms what we already knew. This is going to be one of the closest races in the entire country. But I need your help now to cross the finish line victorious.

Thank you for everything you do,

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