Hi John, it's Mandela. I'm reaching out to ask you to do something important with early voting beginning in Wisconsin today.

This U.S. Senate race is going to be one of the closest races in the whole country. A CNN poll that came out yesterday shows us trailing by one point, and Cook Political rates us as a toss-up.

So our job right now, with early voting now open, is to reach the voters that will decide the outcome of our races. We know which people we need to persuade and mobilize in order to win, but whether or not they vote in this election is up to us.

If you've been waiting for the best time to make a contribution, now is the time. So please:

Can you make a $3 split contribution to my campaign and Tammy Duckworth’s campaign for U.S. Senate today? Wisconsin and Illinois will determine whether we expand – or lose – the Senate majority, and your contribution today will determine whether we'll have the resources to secure these seats.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your split contribution between Tammy Duckworth and Mandela Barnes will go through immediately:

Or, donate another amount

I know that we've asked a lot of you lately, and I hope you take that as a sign of just how important it is that people like you are involved in our races.

The majority of the money that we've raised this month has come from people contributing small-dollar donations, often in response to emails like this one.

To put it bluntly, without grassroots support, we wouldn't be on a path to victory in our races. So with early voting now open, I need to ask you one more time:

Can you make a $3 split contribution to my campaign and Tammy Duckworth’s campaign for U.S. Senate today? I know we can secure these seats as long as people like you stay involved during these critical final days.

Thank you, John, for all that you've done. It means the world to me to know that we are in this together.

All my best,

Mandela
