Friends -

Mandela Barnes here, humbly asking if you can please split a contribution to my campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and Jim Himes' campaign for Congress in CT-04.

We have received a lot of individual donations since I became the Democratic nominee, and that support means the world to me.

But this race requires more.

CNN says we’re one of the most likely Democrats to flip a seat and Nate Silver’s projections agree.

That’s why our opponents — Ron Johnson and Mitch McConnell’s dark money group — are flooding Wisconsin with millions in attack ads.

My campaign will soon be making some big budget decisions in order for us to respond, and these decisions could determine the result of this race.

So please, I am humbly asking:

Can I count on you to split $25, or whatever you can afford today, between Jim Himes and our campaign to defeat Ron Johnson and flip this Senate seat?

Thank you in advance for chipping in.

Mandela
