Hi John,

I’m reaching out about the most important Senate race in the country, which could decide whether Democrats hold onto and strengthen our majority: my friend Catherine Cortez Masto’s race in Nevada. 

Catherine knows a thing or two about making cracks in glass ceilings. Back in 2016, Republicans spent $50 million trying to defeat her. Pundits and pollsters counted Catherine out, predicting Nevada would flip red. But she fought her heart out and overcame it all, becoming our nation’s first and only Latina senator. 

History has a way of repeating itself: Catherine once again is facing Republican attacks that media reports have called “unprecedented” – with Mitch McConnell and his allies spending more than $55 million to defeat her. Every major election forecaster – The New York Times, CNN, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight – has called Catherine the most vulnerable senator on the ballot. Experts are saying Nevada is Mitch McConnell’s best hope at flipping a seat red, and he only needs to pick up one seat to take back control of the Senate.

I'm asking you to not let that happen. Catherine needs your grassroots support in these crucial, final days of the election. Will you split a donation of $5 or whatever you can spare between Catherine and Kirsten Gillibrand? Any donation you make will be triple-matched by a group of donors to ensure Catherine has the resources to defeat her Trump-backed opponent.

Across the country, we are seeing a wave of extremist Republican candidates – handpicked and backed by Donald Trump – running to flip the Senate red. Nevada is no exception. Catherine is up against an opponent who led Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results in Nevada. Her opponent also celebrated the overturning of Roe, calling the landmark law that protected reproductive freedom “a joke.” 

So, John, this election is not merely a choice between divergent political parties. It’s a choice of whether we stand with candidates like Catherine on the side of truth, progress and democracy – or whether we allow candidates loyal to Donald Trump take power and trample all over our democracy. 

The choice is ours to make, but time is running short. With just four days to go, polling shows Catherine in a statistical tie with her opponent, so she urgently needs grassroots resources to mobilize voters, pull ahead and win. So please, split a contribution of $5 or whatever you can spare between Catherine Cortez Masto and Kirsten Gillibrand to ensure we win in Nevada and protect our Democratic Senate majority. 

Thank you,

Hillary Clinton
