Senator Murphy sent you a personal note recently, so we wanted to bump it to the top of your inbox.
This may be surprising, but the overwhelming majority of donations to our campaign come from people just like you giving what they can in response to emails like this one. This is a 100% people-powered campaign. So please consider contributing anything you can today to support Chris. Thank you!

I’m reaching out personally because I need to ask a favor of you today. Yes, this is a fundraising ask, and I wish I didn’t have to make it. But it’s important that I have the resources to win re-election, so I hope you will hear me out.
The truth is I hate asking people to contribute. It’s the worst part of this job, and our democracy would be better off if we could get these absurd levels of money out of our politics. The corporate money and super PACs are undoubtedly a corrosive force.
But my campaign cannot just unilaterally disarm. It would put a huge target on us for far-right billionaires and super PACs that can spend limitless sums of money. Senate races are just expensive, and frankly, people deserve to know that I’m putting in the work of legislating in the Senate and organizing on the ground to earn their vote.
That’s why I’m building a people-powered campaign from start to finish. I’m going to fund this the right way — I’m not taking any PAC or corporate money — but it requires that I lean on you a bit more.
Look, I know you probably did not expect to make a contribution to my re-election when you woke up this morning, but if you believe that people power is the right way to run a campaign, then I need you to have my back.
Make a contribution of any amount that makes sense for you today to help us win. Please know I only ask because your support is truly important to my re-election. There’s no way I can take on the important fight ahead of us alone.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. I know people cannot give every time I ask, and I do not expect that in the slightest. What I need is for people to consider giving just a little bit when it makes sense for their budget.
Every best wish,
Chris Murphy
