Hello,

With our slim Democratic majority at stake in Iowa’s Senate’s race, we needed to hit yesterday’s critical mid-month goal in order to help Mike Franken defeat Chuck Grassley and turn Iowa blue. But we just fell $28,000 short of our fundraising goal, and we now have a big gap in our budget.

This is the absolute worst possible time to fall short. A new poll from the highly-respected Des Moines Register shows less than 50% of Iowa voters want to reelect Chuck Grassley. But Mitch McConnell and his Super PACs are raising millions to attack Democrat Mike Franken, and we need to raise every dollar of our $28,000 shortfall if we’re going to be able to fight back and win.

We cannot afford to fall short again, and grassroots donors like you have never let us down before. We’re counting on you to give anything you can now if we’re going to protect our Democratic majority from McConnell and Grassley:

Please, before our extended deadline at midnight tonight, will you give $5 or more right now to help Mike Franken defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

We know we’ve been emailing a lot, but there’s so much at stake. Falling short now could cost us our one and only chance to defeat Chuck Grassley.

But with the help of grassroots donors like you now, we know we can win and protect our razor slim majority.

Thank you for everything you do,

Team Franken
