Hello,

FIRST: Admiral Mike Franken out-raised Chuck Grassley in Iowa, and new polling showed a statistical TIE.

THEN: Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight said polls show Mike Franken’s race against Chuck Grassley in Iowa is more competitive than Pennsylvania and Arizona.

BUT NOW: Mitch McConnell just launched new TV ads across Iowa attacking Mike and trying to desperately save Grassley!

Democrats have a chance to expand our majority to 55 or 56 seats – and Republicans are scrambling. The polls show Mike can defeat Grassley and turn Iowa blue, but we need your help to fight back right now.

We need to raise another $175,000 before midnight tonight to keep our TV ads up and win, and right now, we're still dangerously short. The only way we'll send Grassley packing is if grassroots donors like you give now:

Please, before our critical fundraising deadline, will you chip in $5 or more right now to help Admiral Mike Franken defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and expand our Democratic Senate majority?
