Friend --

This is a picture of Mitch McConnell's desk:

Just kidding. We're writing this from Minnesota, so we can only guess. But here's what's not a joke: Mitch McConnell decides what gets a hearing in the Senate -- and if he doesn't like a bill, it stays in his legislative graveyard.

In Congress, we need people who are committed to getting things done -- leaders like Dean. Can you chip in today to help fuel his 2020 campaign?

Or, if your payment information is saved with ActBlue, click below and your contribution will go through immediately:

Mitch McConnell and the GOP-led Senate don't want you to know it, but Dean and his House colleagues have passed a whole lot of legislation in the past year -- nearly 400 bills that would lower prescription drug prices, increase gun safety, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and more.

McConnell has spent his five years as Senate Majority Leader playing partisan games and stonewalling legislation that would fix our democracy -- and he would love nothing more than to see Dean lose his seat to a GOP opponent.

If we bring in strong fundraising numbers this month -- the first in a critical election year -- it will send an important message to Mitch McConnell and others that Americans want leaders who get things done. Please chip in today to show Dean you're with him.

Thanks for all you do,

The Dean Team
