Hello,

​​I know you hear a lot from me, but I just saw that we are still $19,450 short of our fundraising goal. Time is running out before our midnight deadline, so I had to reach out.

With the polls this close and control of the Senate on the line, we simply cannot afford to fall short and miss a single goal. The latest polling shows we are gaining ground on Chuck Grassley. His approval ratings are now the lowest they’ve EVER been.

And if we turn Iowa blue this November, the pundits say Democrats are guaranteed to protect and expand our Senate majority. But with Grassley just dumping another $2 million on TV ads against me, I need your help now if we’re going to fight back and win.

Iowa was one of the closest – and most expensive – races in the country in 2020. This November, it’ll be even closer and even more expensive. Every dollar is going to matter. But if we fall short of this crucial fundraising goal now, we won’t have the resources we need to surge into the lead.

Please, I cannot do this without your help now. May I count on you to chip in $5 or more right now to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate?

Everything is at stake this November – including the future of our very democracy.

I am grateful to have you on the team,

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