John, I know it's late, but I only need 30 seconds of your time. You see, I just checked our ActBlue donation page, and I'm still $1,733 short of my mid-month goal. If we fall short this early into the cycle, we'll never be able to get back on track. Can you rush $5 or whatever you can spare right now to help me defend our Senate majority? Here's your personal donation link: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/carper-email

We're heading into a tough season, John:

We're defending Democratic seats in 20 states – including eight states that Trump won or narrowly lost in 2020.
But Mitch McConnell just needs to flip TWO seats red to take back the Senate and push his far-right agenda.
And now, the election experts at FiveThirtyEight are warning that Republicans already have "a clear path to retaking the Senate."

All of that is pretty concerning. But what really keeps me up on nights like tonight is that this fight that we're in is about so much more than which party is in power. It's about the future of our democracy, our civil rights, and the type of leaders we want. It's about what we're leaving for the next generation. As my friend Joe Biden would say, we're truthfully locked in a "battle for the soul of the nation."

That's why I'm emailing you tonight, and it's why I have to ask one more time (even though I don't want to): Please, will you make a donation before my midnight deadline to help me hit this urgent goal so that we can defend our Senate majority?

We only defied the odds and defeated the GOP's megadonors in 2022 because grassroots people like you made early investments in Democratic campaigns. I'm counting on this team to stand strong together.

Thank you,
Tom
