Friend -- this is the last time I'll ask in 2019, so please, hear me out.

I'm sure you're watching the clock and are excited for 2020 -- and with it, new opportunities, goals, and resolutions. I know I am.

But you know who else is counting down the hours? The Trump campaign, special interests, and our GOP opponents. They're already up with hundreds of online ads. And now they're hoping their attacks have done the trick. They want to see us fall short.

I am so grateful to this grassroots team. Every time I have asked, you have stepped up to meet the challenge. Now, I'm hoping you will join me before this one final hurdle: Our end-of-year FEC fundraising deadline.

Before the end-of-the-year, please make a contribution to help our grassroots campaign hit our end-of-year goal. This is the time to act.

Or, if your payment information is saved with ActBlue, click below and your contribution will go through immediately:

Here's my resolution. I will never stop standing up and speaking up for you. I will never take a dime from special interests, PACs, or federal lobbyists. No matter what the GOP, dark money groups, and opponents throw at us, I will never stop speaking out for what's right.

This is the most important deadline yet for our campaign. Before the end of the year, will you stand up and be counted?

With gratitude, and best wishes for a happy and healthy new year,

Dean
