Friend – I’m facing a $23,991 shortfall ahead of the election’s final end-of-month fundraising deadline, and I’m concerned I’ll be short on resources in these final, crucial days.

I need to explain why I’m counting on you, one of this campaign’s most engaged supporters, to chip in at this urgent moment.

The Republican Party has transformed into an extremist political movement completely beholden to a disgraced, twice-impeached former president. Candidates in major races for higher office – including my opponent – are sycophants for Trump’s dangerous rhetoric and lies.

So if Democrats come up short by just one Senate seat, it doesn’t just mean handing over Senate control to Mitch McConnell. It means handing over control of the Senate to a band of extremists hell bent on trampling our democratic norms and stripping fundamental human rights from millions of American women.

That’s why, as national Republicans have made me a target and Trump is fundraising for my opponent, I urgently need every member of this grassroots team to fight alongside me to protect this seat. Indeed, it is YOUR donation that will ensure we can combat GOP attacks and win, protecting and EXPANDING Democratic Senate control.

So please, will you donate $5 or more to protect this Democratic Senate seat and ensure control of the Senate stays out of the hands of Mitch McConnell? I need an immediate surge in grassroots donations to stay on track and win this race.

Thank you,

Dick
