My family didn’t have much growing up, but my parents took pride in the life and opportunities that they could provide my sister and me.

This is where I grew up, John. Inside this home is where my parents taught me the values of hard work, respect, and the importance of community.

I’ve never forgotten where I came from. I’m the product of working parents who didn’t come from money or power. I went to public school in Las Vegas, became a first-generation college graduate, took a year off school to save enough money working at a construction company to put myself through law school, and eventually became the first Latina ever elected to the Senate.

But my toughest fight yet is this November’s election: I’m currently trailing my Trump-endorsed opponent by 1 POINT while Mitch McConnell and his allies are blanketing Nevada’s airwaves with $22 MILLION in attack ads to defeat me.

That’s why I’m humbly asking for your support and would be grateful if you could chip in $5 before tonight’s critical deadline, John.

Senate control will be decided in Nevada, and The Cook Political Report, Nate Silver, and Roll Call all agree that I’m the most vulnerable Democratic senator in the country. Election experts have even pinpointed Nevada as the GOP’s best blue-to-red opportunity, which is why I urgently need to raise the $2,963 left for today’s fundraising goal before tonight’s deadline.

Whether you can chip in just $5, $25, or even $50, it would have a huge impact on this race. This money allows my campaign to help organize and register voters in the communities that we have to turnout in order to win this race.

Please, John I can’t win this race without your support.
