John, it's official. The 2022 election is just two weeks away. I know it's late, but can you give me a moment to explain why I believe we're going to successfully defend our Senate majority this November?

You see, in 2020, the GOP and their megadonors spent millions attacking our candidates and spreading lies. But grassroots Democrats like you faced this challenge head on – and we won the Senate AND the White House, against all the odds.

Just a few months ago, the experts were saying once again that the Democrats wouldn't be able to pull off a victory – that we'd lose the Senate, and President Biden's agenda would be doomed. But, because folks like you fought for our candidates and invested in tough states, McConnell's candidates are faltering in the polls. Now, we have a real shot to hold the Senate.

Even so, I'm not counting any chickens before they've hatched. We still need to defend vulnerable Democrats like my friends Sen. Cortez Masto and Sen. Warnock. And we still need to fight hard to win in flippable states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. We can only pull this off if folks like you stand up for our candidates in these final 14 days – just like you did in 2020.

In short, control of the Senate is going to come down to you, John. And that brings me to why I believe we're going to defend the Senate: because I believe in you. I believe in grassroots power. And I believe that you're going to stand with me again tonight, when it really counts.

If I'm right about your commitment to defending our Senate majority, will you make a donation to power Democrats through these final 14 days before the election? Here's the best link to give: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/carper-email

Onward to November!
