Hello,

I really hate sending emails like this. But there are just 11 days left until Election Day, and we are in very real danger of falling short of one of our very final $150,000 TV ad buy goal.

Iowa was one of the closest Senate races in the country in 2020, and a brand-new poll from the Des Moines Register shows my race against Chuck Grassley is a statistical TIE right now. The Washington Post is calling this a "toss-up" race. Senate control is on the line, and reaching this goal is essential to winning. That’s why, for the first time ever, a group of donors is 4X MATCHING all gifts until midnight tonight.

But the only way we’ll raise what we need to defeat Grassley and protect our Senate majority is if grassroots donors like you give now and get every dollar QUADRUPLED:

Please, can you give $5 or more – whatever you can spare before this match expires at midnight tonight – and every dollar will go FOUR TIMES as far to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

Republicans know Grassley is in trouble. That’s why they just booked another $3.5 million in new TV ads against me in Iowa.

But Nate Silver says Democrats can pick up seats and expand our Senate majority – and this is one of our best opportunities in the country. We cannot afford to miss this goal if we want to turn Iowa blue. I don’t take money from corporate PACs. I rely entirely on grassroots donors like you, so I urgently need your help.

Grassroots donors like you have made this race competitive. But right now, I’m counting on you to donate $5 or more now and get every dollar QUADRUPLED. Every dollar you give before midnight will go FOUR TIMES as far toward helping defeat Chuck Grassley and flipping this seat blue.
