John: In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to help us reach our critical mid-month goal and keep Nevada and the Senate blue. But first, let me explain why your support right now is so important.

I know a thing or two about what it means to roll up your sleeves and get to work. I grew up in a working-class family as the granddaughter of immigrants and the daughter of a World War II veteran. I paid for college by working and waiting tables at Caesars Palace as a Culinary Union member while taking out student loans, and eventually I became the first in my family to graduate. Now, I'm humbled to serve Nevada in the U.S. Senate and fight for the hardworking families who have helped build our great state.

But FiveThirtyEight is reporting that the battle for Senate control could once again come down to Nevada – and experts say I'm one of the GOP's top targets for defeat. I need people like you to help me fight back and win – but time is running out before our crucial mid-month deadline, and we're falling short of our $50,000 goal.

That's why I'm personally asking, John: Please, will you give $5 or more right now so we can hit our mid-month goal, keep Nevada blue, and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

Republicans need to flip just two seats to take back the Senate, and The Washington Post is already calling me one of the most endangered Democrats on the ballot.

Last cycle, Republicans flooded Nevada with over $55 million – and there's no question that they'll spend even more this time around. We simply can't afford to miss critical goals like this so early in the campaign – because it could mean handing the GOP a massive fundraising advantage.

So please, John, will you rush $5 or more now to defeat the GOP and keep both Nevada and the Senate blue?

Thank you. Every dollar makes a huge difference.
