Hello,

A new poll shows me just a few points behind Chuck Grassley. But with just hours until our critical fundraising deadline, we’re falling dangerously short of our goal and what we need to defeat Grassley and turn Iowa blue.

That’s why – for only the second time ever – a group of donors is MATCHING all gifts until midnight tonight to help us hit our goal, send Chuck Grassley packing, and protect our Democratic Senate majority!

I don’t know when, or if, we’ll have another rare matching opportunity like this again. That’s why it’s so crucial you take full advantage of this chance for every dollar you give to go TWICE as far toward helping me defeat Grassley

We have an historic opportunity to turn Iowa blue. The polls show a neck-and-neck race. “The best pollster in politics” according to Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight says Grassley’s approvals are at the lowest they’ve EVER been.

But everything will be in jeopardy if we don’t have the resources to fight back against the $2 million Grassley just dumped into new TV ads attacking me. And right now, we’re still very short of our goal and what I need to win.

Please, will you give $5 or more right now – your gift will be DOUBLED to $10! – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

This match and your chance to have your gift go TWICE as far expires at midnight, so please don’t wait.

Thank you so much for your support,

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