John:

I have about 10 minutes of free time in my schedule today. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot of time, but with a schedule like mine, I can assure you I’m using it wisely.

And while I know our campaign sends a lot of emails, I want to take a few of these minutes to explain why your support today is so important to our success.

But first, if you don’t need to hear anymore, you can use this link to chip in immediately:

As you know, this year’s midterm elections are an opportunity to protect and expand our Democratic majority in the Senate, which will allow us to keep making progress on the issues that we all know are so important—like protecting key benefits for Veterans and military families, enshrining full reproductive rights into law and helping prevent gun violence in our communities.

And the stakes couldn’t be any higher. My opponent Kathy Salvi supports a total ban on abortion even in the case of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother. She is also an ultra-wealthy self-funder who just dropped $100,000 on attack ads against me in the final weeks of this race..

So we are facing an uphill battle to protect our majority and Mitch McConnell knows that.

That’s why it’s important that we hit tonight’s $25,000 fundraising goal. We need the resources to set the record straight in these final weeks before the election. So, please:

Can you rush a contribution of $5 or any amount you can afford before our mid-month deadline at midnight? It would mean so much to know you’re with me at this critical moment.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Or, donate another amount

Thank you for your ongoing support. It means so much to me and this team.

All my best,

Tammy Duckworth
