Hello,

I’ve got 10 minutes before my next event, so I wanted to send you a quick email about the latest in my campaign against Chuck Grassley.

Iowa was one of the closest Senate races in 2020, and it’s going to be even closer this November. Every poll shows Grassley is more unpopular than he’s ever been, and I’ve been gaining ground quickly. The latest poll from the Des Moines Register shows a statistically TIED race.

I’m running for Senate because our democracy is under attack. We need to take real action to stop gun violence, protect voting rights, and finally get corrupting money out of our politics.

But Chuck Grassley has no interest in any of that. His big source of cash is corporate PAC checks from the NRA and Faux News – yes, even Fox “News” gave Grassley a big campaign check last quarter.

Whether or not we win and turn Iowa blue will decide if Democrats keep control of the Senate – or hand the reins off to obstructionist Mitch McConnell. That’s why, for the first time ever, a group of donors is 5X MATCHING all gifts to my campaign to help me fight back against the Super PAC lies.

I’m ready to fight for everyday Iowans in the Senate. I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money. But with the polls this close, I need you to immediately give now and get every dollar 5X MATCHED to help me win.

Please, may I count on you to chip in $5 or more right now – every dollar will go FIVE TIMES as far before the match expires – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate?

I truly couldn’t do this without you. Your support means the world.

Thank you,

Mike Franken, U.S. Navy (ret.)
