Hello,
I’ll get right to it: I’m emailing to ask you to help me defeat Chuck Grassley and turn Iowa blue by giving $5 right now to my campaign.
At midnight Friday, we’re facing our final end-of-quarter FEC deadline of the entire campaign. You’ve probably heard about these deadlines before – and for good reason.
After September 30th, my campaign is required by federal law to publicly report our fundraising totals. Everyone will be scouring our report. Reporters will write about how much we’ve raised. Chuck Grassley will see the strength of the people-powered campaign. And Mitch McConnell and his Super PACs will be watching, ready to pounce at any sign of weakness.
This deadline isn’t just about meeting the goals we need to hit to fund our campaign operations. It’ll show the world whether or not Democrats are prepared to defend our Senate majority – and our very democracy.
The polls show my race will be one of the closest in the country. But we still need to raise another $127,526 to hit our huge $2,500,000 goal, and I’m counting on grassroots donors like you to give now if we’re going to take on the Super PACs and win:
If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Whether or not we hit our goal, our fundraising total will set the tone for the final stretch of this campaign.
I’m so grateful for your trust in me and support of democratic ideals,
Mike Franken, U.S. Navy (ret.)
