Friend, this will only take a minute of your time:

Tonight marks one of our first big fundraising deadlines since I officially launched my reelection campaign. But right now, we're falling way short of our $30,000 midnight goal, so I'm counting on your help to close this gap ASAP.

Republicans only need to win two more seats to deliver Senate control back to Mitch McConnell. And here in New York, they just had their best election cycle in two decades — winning enough seats to deliver the House majority to the GOP. Now, they're zeroing in on my seat to flip the Senate next.

Missing this major goal would send a message to McConnell and the GOP that this seat is vulnerable — plus, it would mean starting this campaign at a serious fundraising disadvantage. I don't take any money from corporate PACs, friend, so I can't reach this goal in time without your urgent grassroots support.

So please, will you split $5 between my campaign and Gary Peters' right now to help us reach our midnight goal, defeat the GOP in New York and defend the Senate for Democrats?

Thank you,

Kirsten Gillibrand
