John,

I have terrible news, and I want you to hear this from me:

The Congressional Leadership Fund, one of the GOP’s largest Super PACs, just laid down $2.1 million in TV advertising to attack me this fall.

We’ve been preparing for this moment, and our worst fears have now come alive. The Republicans think they can flip this seat and they’re spending big time to defeat me. I don’t take a dime of corporate PAC money, so the only thing we’ve got to fight back is you and this grassroots army we’ve built.

I’m asking you to please rush in a donation before our end-of-month deadline when we need to make the next round of decisions about our ad spending. The only way we’re going to be able to confront this influx of GOP money is with your support!

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve been emailing you a lot for donations. It’s because we expected the GOP would make a big move like this (though $2.1 million is still more than I would have thought to be honest). The timing is also key - this is happening just a few weeks before ballots are mailed out.
