Hello,

I have huge news to share. After a brand-new poll showed us in a statistical TIE with Chuck Grassley, my campaign just announced that we raised over $2.8 million last quarter from grassroots donors like you.

That’s more than Grassley has EVER raised in a single quarter during his entire 47-year-long career!

Our momentum is building. The polling shows Chuck Grassley is more unpopular and more vulnerable than ever. We’re shattering fundraising records. And as I’m crisscrossing the state meeting with voters in all 99 counties, you can feel the energy. We ARE going to send Chuck Grassley packing once-and-for all this November.

But Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell are raising millions from corporate PACs and billionaires into Super PACs to attack me. The entire state is about to be flooded with nasty attack ads.

I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money. Instead, my campaign is funded entirely by over 114,000 grassroots donors like you giving an average of just $23. So if we’re going to fight back, I’m counting on you to give now.

We need to raise another $350,000 before our mid-month deadline, but with less than 48 hours to go, right now it looks like we are going to come up short.

Please, if you’re able to, may I count on you to give $5 or more right now – whatever amount you can afford to give before our mid-July deadline – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate?

We have the wind in our sails. Chuck Grassley has never faced anything like our campaign before. We cannot let up or stop now.

The attacks are coming, and we must keep “All engines ahead, FULL.”
