Hi again, friend, it's Gary, chair of the DSCC. I just got the final October Grassroots Fundraising Report from my team and I have bad news: We fell $12,355 short of our final end-of-month goal before the election. 

I won't beat around the bush: I need to make this gap up before midnight tonight or we won't have the resources to support Democrats in critical races across the country. That's why I am personally asking: Will you rush $5 before 11:59 p.m. tonight to protect our Senate majority in seven days? Here's the best link to give: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/gp_email

Abortion rights. Affordable health care. Voting rights. Relief for working families. The future of our democracy. Everything that we care about is on the ballot this year – but we are up against the narrowest possible margins.

Mitch McConnell just needs one more seat to take back the majority – and far too many of our Democratic incumbents are playing defense in toss-up races. Recent polls show just how razor-thin these races will be: In Nevada, Sen. Cortez Masto is down by 1. Across the country, in New Hampshire, Sen. Maggie Hassan is up by just 1 point. And Sen. Raphael Warnock is TIED in Georgia.

Now, we're just one week away from the election. At this stage in the race, a single dollar, donation or donor could shift the scales. This small gap in our fundraising could be the difference between victory or handing the Senate back to McConnell. We cannot leave anything to chance. So please, friend, will you make a grassroots donation before midnight tonight so that we can hit this goal and defend our Senate majority? Here's that donation link again: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/gp_email

This is our last chance to help Democrats pull ahead in the polls. I'm really counting on you.

With gratitude,

Sen. Gary Peters
