john —

In just a minute, I’m going to ask you to contribute to my campaign as part of our last-minute fundraising push for August. We’re falling just a bit short of our goal, so I hope you’ll let me briefly explain why this request matters so much.

From passing the Inflation Reduction Act to shedding light on Trump’s threats to democracy, Congress has had a lot on our plate. Now, to build on our progress, and to protect and even expand our majority in the Senate, we look ahead.

After winning two competitive statewide elections to the Senate in three years, I’ve been grateful to put campaign fundraising to the back of my mind and focus on getting big things done. But the incredible grassroots support our campaign harnessed is still critically important to supporting my colleagues who are fighting to defend their seats and our Senate majority this fall — so that’s what we need to focus on these next 10 weeks.

That’s why I hope you can understand why I’m emailing you. We’re not far behind where we need to be to hit our goal ahead of this deadline. A donation of $3, or whatever you’re able to spare right now, will go a long way toward closing the gap in our fundraising and ensuring I can do everything possible to protect our 50-50 Senate majority from Mitch McConnell.

Please consider adding a contribution of $3 to our campaign as part of our end-of-month fundraising drive. I need your support to get back on track for August and focus on all the critical work we have ahead of us this fall. You can donate here:

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

I’m always impressed by your response to emails like these. You sustain our campaign, and it always lifts my spirits. Because of you, I spend more time doing my job than fundraising, and that makes a world of difference.

I’m lucky to have supporters like you I can count on, and I’m so grateful you are part of the team.
