Friend – my apologies for being so blunt, but I need your attention immediately: Politico just reported that our race in Nevada is the "closest Senate race" in the country, but I'm falling short of the most ambitious end-of-month goal I've ever set. Please take a look at where things stand:

With 8 days left in the race that will decide Senate control, now is the most critically important moment for my grassroots supporters – including you, friend – to make a contribution that will have three times the impact in protecting this seat.

The alternative to meeting my last end-of-month goal of this election is being completely overwhelmed by the $55 million Mitch McConnell and his allies are spending to defeat me. The alternative, friend, is being outspent and drowned out on the airwaves – and having Nevadans see more nasty lies and smears about me as they are casting their ballots.

I remain hopeful: This grassroots team helped me overcome a mountain of spending in 2016 to win by 2 points – against all the odds and despite all the predictions otherwise – to become our nation's first Latina senator. I know we can win again, but it's only possible with your immediate grassroots donation: Please, chip in $5 or whatever you can spare (tripled to become $15) to help me fight back against GOP-funded attack ads, keep Nevada blue and defend our Democratic Senate majority.

Thank you so much for being part of this grassroots team. I know we can come out on top on Election Day. 

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
