Friend, it's Sen. Gary Peters. My election data team just sent me this URGENT State of the Race report, and I needed to share these toplines with you:

I'll be honest with you: These numbers are tough to read – but they don't come as a surprise. We've known for months now that the battle for Senate control is going to be neck and neck, right up until Election Day.

As incredible Democratic candidates like John Fetterman, Mandela Barnes and Cheri Beasley work against tough odds to flip red states blue, my colleagues Sen. Maggie Hassan, Sen. Raphael Warnock, Sen. Mark Kelly and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto are in the fight of their lives. All across the country – from New Hampshire to Nevada – we're seeing razor-thin races, any of which could decide Senate control.

The math has never been in our favor here. Mitch McConnell only needs to flip ONE SEAT to take back the majority. So we must fight tooth and nail in these final weeks to protect our Democratic seats and force Republicans to play defense in flippable battleground states. But a massive, countrywide strategy like that can only happen with an unprecedented surge in grassroots support – and with the deadline only hours away, we are still short of our mid-month goal!

So while Mitch McConnell calls up his far-right megadonors, I'm reaching out to you. Please, will you stand with me and our Democratic candidates by rushing $5 – before our mid-month deadline – to defend our Senate majority? With so much on the line in November, we have to win every single Senate seat that is up for grabs to ensure beyond a doubt that McConnell does not retake power!

There are just a few weeks left to prove that this team has what it takes to defy the odds and emerge victorious on Nov. 8. I believe in you – but now I need you to fight with me.

Thank you,

Gary
