Friend, Ted Cruz just stepped off the stage at his MAGA rally in Nevada.

He's here in Nevada for one reason: Republicans see defeating me as the surefire path to retaking the Senate – and I'm concerned Cruz could tip the scales in my opponent's favor.

Election experts from CNN to The New York Times say I'm the most vulnerable senator on the ballot, and winning here would hand Republicans the ONE seat they need to take back control. On top of Ted Cruz rallying his right-wing base to defeat me, the GOP is spending more than $50 million attacking me across the Nevada airwaves. I need to fight back. Immediately.

That's why I'm personally asking you to step up now to ensure I have the resources to win in the midst of these attacks: A generous group of donors is triple-matching all gifts up to my $50,000 rapid-response goal, so please, will you rush $5 or more now to have it TRIPLED to defend our Senate majority?

I've got to be honest, friend. Polls show me trailing my opponent by a point, and with Election Day just 33 days away, we are running out of time to close the gap. I'm up against the full might of the GOP – Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and millions of dollars in attack ads – and I cannot win without your grassroots support.

I've won tough races before – in 2016 I overcame nearly $50 million in GOP spending to become our country's first Latina senator – and I'm telling you, your support has never been more important than it is right now. Please, will you rush a triple-matched gift before midnight to ensure I have the resources to fight back against extremists like Ted Cruz, keep Nevada blue and defend our Democratic Senate?

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
