Friend,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you need to know this:

Tonight, my campaign faces a critical fundraising deadline, and right now we're projecting to come up short of our goals.

Coming up short at this point in the election could have a catastrophic impact on our ability to win this race. I don't mean to alarm you, but that's the truth.

I'm tied with Ron Johnson in the latest polls, and his dark-money groups are pouring absurd amounts of money into Wisconsin to try to buy this seat.

The only thing standing in their way is this grassroots team. That's why I really need you to chip in before tonight's deadline, so I'm asking:

Can you please split a $10 contribution to my campaign and Chuck Schumer's before midnight tonight? I am really hoping I can count on you today.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split evenly between Chuck Schumer and Mandela Barnes:

Ron Johnson is the single most vulnerable Republican in the entire Senate. But the only way we'll flip Wisconsin blue and send him packing is if we're in this together.

Thank you in advance for adding your contribution today. Your support is so important to our ability to win this race.

Mandela
