Hello,

This morning, my team had an emergency fundraising meeting. Chuck Grassley just launched ANOTHER huge TV buy smearing me across the entire state with attack ads, and Mitch McConnell is spending millions more to stop me from turning Iowa blue.

But with just 4 days until Election Day and our Get-Out-TheVote fundraising deadline at midnight tonight, we just checked ActBlue – and our grassroots fundraising has slowed way down. If I’m going to send Chuck Grassley packing and protect our Democratic Senate majority, I’m counting on a new surge of donations from people like you now.

A brand-new poll from the Des Moines Register shows I am only THREE points behind Grassley, and we’re gaining ground. But Iowa was one of the closest Senate races in the country in 2020, and it’ll be even closer this year. If we miss our fundraising goal now, we will have to scale back our GOTV efforts and we will not be able to reach all of Iowa with our message and compete with Mitch’s millions. That's why, for the first time ever, a group of donors just offered to 5X MATCH all gifts until midnight tonight.

I’m not giving up – but I’m depending on you to maintain our momentum and win. If we turn Iowa blue this November, Democrats are guaranteed to protect our majority in the Senate. So I have to ask: Please, will you chip in $5 or more right now – every dollar will be 5X MATCHED and go five times as far – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and expand our Democratic Senate majority?

We couldn’t have gotten this far without grassroots donors like you, but I need your continued help now.

I’m so grateful for everything you do,

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