Friend: This is alarming. Right after our final FEC quarterly deadline passed, grassroots donations took a HUGE nosedive – just as polling shows me 1 point down, and CNN says I'm the most vulnerable senator on the ballot!

Democrats cannot hold the Senate if I lose here in Nevada, so please help me turn this around immediately: Rush a donation of $5 or whatever you can to protect this seat and keep the Senate blue.

This couldn't have happened at a worse time – October is the FINAL full month of the campaign, meaning it's our last chance to gather enough resources to fight the GOP's multimillion-dollar attacks and get out the vote. With folks across Nevada voting RIGHT NOW, we need to get back on track immediately!

NBC News just reported Republicans see flipping Nevada as their best path to retaking Senate control. Mitch McConnell and his allies won't slow down for a second in their efforts to defeat me – which means we can't slow down or fall short on resources, either.

That's why my team just set a goal to raise $35,000 by midnight tonight to make up this budget shortfall, and I'm counting on YOU to chip in ASAP. Please, will you rush $5 or more right now so that we can reach every last Nevada voter and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
