I wouldn't be asking you this if it wasn't extraordinarily important, John.

Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight just reported that our seat in Nevada is Republicans' "most likely pickup opportunity."

Yet, with Senate control on the line, I'm falling short of the $25,000 I need to raise by 11:59 p.m. tonight.

Nate Silver's new analysis comes just after we learned a right-wing super PAC was absolutely blindsiding us with $11 million in attack ads. With Election Day just a few days away and Nevadans already casting their ballots in the race that will decide Senate control, this is our last and only hope of fighting back.

This is why I'm coming to you with a sincere plea: Will you please split a donation of $5 between my campaign and Fight for Progress – or whatever you can spare at this urgent moment – to combat Republican attacks against me and save our Democratic Senate majority?

Thank you sincerely for always answering my calls to action. The future of our Senate hinges on your support.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
