John – I need 60 seconds of your time ahead of my LAST big fundraising deadline (my campaign manager just told me we're still 23% short of our goal).

This couldn't be happening at a worse moment: GOP outside groups have already massively outspent my campaign, Nate Silver said Nevada is the GOP's best pickup opportunity in November and now CNN has named me the most vulnerable senator in America.

If we fall short at this critical moment, our chances of winning and defending our Senate majority will plummet. We cannot afford to miss this goal, so I'm urgently asking: Will you split a donation of $5 between my campaign and Sen. Tom Carper's to help me make up this shortfall and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

I know you've heard from top Democrats like Barack Obama and Joe Biden about the importance of defending our Senate majority – and that just isn't possible if we miss today’s critical fundraising benchmark here in Nevada.

I'm not afraid of a tough race. In 2016, I overcame more than $50 million in GOP spending to win by 2 points and become our country's first Latina senator. But what I learned from that race is this: Grassroots support makes a critical, race-defining difference. Every dollar truly matters in this campaign, so I'm asking you to chip in before the polls close:

Please, John, if you care about defending our Democratic Senate majority, split a donation of $5 or more between my campaign and Sen. Tom Carper so we can keep Nevada and our Senate blue!

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
