John – 

It’s official: We have our Republican opponent in Arizona. Here’s what that means for our race:

Experts all over the country agree: Arizona is going to be one of the closest races in the country this year. And now that the stage is set for November, all eyes are on us. 

And with more attention comes more money. Our opponent is backed by an out-of-state billionaire from Silicon Valley, and his Super PAC can spend virtually unlimited sums of money on this race – whatever it takes to defeat us. National Republicans, corporate special interests, and dark money groups are ready to spend millions of dollars on attack ads.

To top it all off, my opponent has the full support and endorsement of Donald Trump. So we can expect more rallies and attacks from the former president aimed at amping up his base. All the strength Trump can drum up is on its way. 

I know you’ve gotten a lot of emails from me recently, but we can’t start the general election off on the wrong foot. And right now, we’re falling behind our fundraising goals. 

So, please, will you split a $5 contribution between our people-powered campaign and Senator Tom Carper's?

The amount isn’t as important as the donation itself, because it’s going to take A LOT of people chipping in as much as they can to reach our goal. Help us fight back and win this November.

Thank you,
Mark
