Hello,

I hate to email you like this, but this is urgent.

We're facing our FINAL end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline at midnight tonight, and we need to raise another $45,000 to keep our TV ads running and defeat Chuck Grassley. But with time running out, I just spoke with my team, and they’ve informed me that we are on track to fall very short.

Frankly, this is a serious setback. In a race this close, every dollar is going to matter going up against Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC millions. But we can’t give up.

My team is going to have an emergency meeting to figure out what we do next, but I already know this: I need grassroots donors like you to chip in whatever you can afford now if we’re going to defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority.

We can’t afford to fall short of our goal now, but I don’t take money from corporate PACs. Instead, I’m counting on you now more than ever. Please will you give now?

Here’s the best link to make a donation now: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mikefranken_email

Anything you can chip in now would make a huge difference. $5, $10, or whatever you can afford goes a long way toward defeating Grassley.

Thank you for being a part of this team,

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