Dear John,

We always knew that this election was going to be critical and expensive, and that’s why the Republicans have been targeting me from day one.

They don’t have anything good to say about their guy, so they’ve just dumped $1 MILLION in TV ads attacking me.

Not joking. They’re so desperate for power that they’re throwing the kitchen sink at us and spending $1 MILLION in bizarre, hate-filled attacks.

I need your help to close out this campaign over the next few weeks — can you rush a contribution our way to help us combat the Republican Party’s $1 million worth of lies?

The saddest part of this is that they’re attacking and bullying a small group of kids for being themselves. How disgusting and craven.

We have to win this election not just for Downriver and Western Wayne County, but to send a message that voters are sick of only offering fear and hatred.

With only 26 days left, please chip in if you haven’t yet or send in another contribution today. We need your help to cross the finish line.
