I love Halloween. And so does Bailey — there may or may not be a picture of him all dressed up at the end of this email.

But before it gets to be time for costumes, candy, and trick-or-treating, I wanted to take a moment to talk about something else happening today: our final monthly fundraising deadline.

It’s powerfully important that we hit this final fundraising goal before Election Day. Can you pitch in $3 today to support our re-election campaign, help protect our razor-thin Senate and House majorities, and boost Democrats up and down the ballot?

There’s still time to act right now and have it make a difference by Election Day — and we must.

Because if Republicans take back Congress — and they’re close — they’ll not only slam the brakes on our whole agenda, they’ll work to reverse our progress.

Mitch McConnell has said that he is “100%” focused on stopping President Biden, and that a nationwide abortion ban would be on the table if Republicans ran Washington.

Kevin McCarthy — who’d be in line to become speaker — can’t stop kissing up to Donald Trump and has proven that he’s not interested in holding his party accountable for its dangerous rhetoric and threats to democracy.

Republican Senator Rick Scott has a big idea to sunset Social Security and Medicare every five years.

But wait, there’s more: Republican Senator Ron Johnson actually wants those programs on the chopping block every year.

The GOP is only one Senate seat and five House seats away from taking back control of Congress. They’re this close to taking back power and bringing us backwards.

But that also means we’re this close to not only holding onto our Democratic majorities — but expanding them with more members who understand what working families need, and who will fight for them.

So here’s my plan for the next 7 days: I’m going to do everything I can — travel to swing states, hold rallies, campaign for Warren Democrats, and use our platforms to reach and turn out voters — to make sure that Democrats come out strong. To prevent Republicans from handing our government back over to billionaires, giant corporations, and hateful right-wing extremists.

But these elections are looking as close as they come. Our success is going to come down to grassroots organizing and voter turnout across the country.

So I have to ask: If it makes sense for you right now, can you make a $3 donation before midnight tonight to support our re-election, get more champions for working people elected, and keep Republicans out of power?

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

P.S. Now here’s a treat: Bailey in his moose get-up! Hope you’re having a safe and fun Halloween.
