Hello,

In less than 5 hours, I’m facing my final FEC fundraising deadline of the entire campaign. After midnight tonight, we're required by federal law to show everyone for the last time how much our people-powered campaign has raised to retire Chuck Grassley and turn Iowa blue.

But right now, we’re still just $12,095 short of our goal, so I have to ask: Please, will you chip in $5 or more right now – before our final FEC deadline at midnight tonight – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate?

Chuck Grassley is one of the biggest recipients of corporate PAC and special interest money in the Senate. His campaign is bankrolled by the NRA, Big Pharma, and Wall Street donors – even Fox News gave him money. But that’s not our campaign.

Our campaign is entirely funded by grassroots donors, like you, giving an average of just $28. A people-powered campaign is what will help us hammer down the Super PAC lies and turn Iowa blue in ‘22. But I’m counting on your support now if we’re going to be successful.

A brand-new Des Moines Register poll shows me just THREE points behind Grassley, and political pundits are predicting record levels of outside spending. We are so close to hitting our huge $750,000 goal, but time is running out before our final FEC deadline of the entire campaign.

I’m asking you personally: Can you make a donation right now to my campaign – whatever amount you can afford before midnight tonight – to defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

Let’s hit this goal and sending Chuck Grassley packing!
