I have a critical favor to ask:

 

I’m asking you to chip in $15 before my friend Ben Ray Luján’s first end-of-quarter deadline. New Mexicans and I are banding together to raise $50,000 before midnight to ensure Ben Ray wins his critical Senate race and ousts Mitch McConnell. >>

 

I’ve known Ben Ray for a long time, so believe me when I tell you he’s a fighter.

 

I watched him lead the fight to take back the House for Democrats and the American people.

 

I watched him fight to bring justice and equality to all people through his platform as Assistant Speaker of the U.S. House and the highest-ranking Hispanic in Congress.

 

And I watched him fight to pave the way for candidates like me to become one of the first Native American women in Congress.

 

I know he’s our best chance to win the Senate, too -- that’s why New Mexicans and I are joining forces today to help Ben Ray have a massive fundraising day.

 

Look, this race is the most competitive open Senate seat in the country.

 

So I’ll be honest: If we don’t put everything we have into winning here in New Mexico, it will be very difficult to defeat Mitch McConnell’s Senate nationwide.

 

Ben Ray’s facing his very first end-of-quarter deadline, and I want to give him every resource he needs to beat back Republicans’ attacks and win.

 

It would mean so much to me if you’d chip in $15 and help me raise $50,000 for Ben Ray’s monumental Senate race before midnight. >>
