Time is running out to close the gap.

Friend, sorry to bump you, but this is URGENT: According to the fundraising report we just received, we are forecasted to miss our critical end-of-month fundraising goal for February.

Missing our goal puts us at a disadvantage going into the new month. But we haven't lost hope yet; if we see one more surge of grassroots support come in before 11:‌59 p.m., we can blow past our projections for February and give ourselves a real chance at defending the Senate in 2024.

Friend, because you're one of our most engaged supporters, we're counting on you to lead this final surge of grassroots support. With Democrats facing a brutal election map in 2024, we're going to need every single dollar we can get to fight back against the GOP dark money machine. So please:

Will you rush a donation of $5 or more before our 11:‌59 p.m. deadline to help us hit our February projections and defend the Senate?

Thank you for stepping up.

Team BRL

Subject: Republicans have the advantage in 2024

Friend, I'm about to ask you to donate $5 to my campaign – but first, let me explain why your $5 donation today will make a difference in our fight to defend our Senate majority.

Not all election maps are created equal – and next year, based on which seats are up for election, Democrats are facing what the Washington Post has called a "brutal" map.

Friend, I won't sugarcoat what that means: Republicans have the advantage in 2024. There's no doubt about that – but that doesn't mean that a Republican takeover is inevitable. In fact, folks also said Republicans were sure to take Senate control in 2022 – and they were dead wrong.

But what that does mean is that national Republicans will likely spend more than ever before to seize the moment, and we MUST keep up.

That's why my team set ambitious grassroots fundraising goals for 2023 to make sure we are ready. But right now, we're $6,283 behind in our critical February end-of month goal.

So I have to ask, with Republicans only in need of ONE seat to swing Senate control back to Mitch McConnell and another Trump presidency possible: Will you chip in $5 or more right now so I can stand tall against the GOP's well-funded attacks as we head into the election season?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you for helping me stand up against extremism.

Con gratitud,
