Worst Possible Time

Just four Tuesdays from today, voters will head to the polls in our must-win Senate race. Four Tuesdays from today, the fate of Democratic Senate control will come down to whether we defend this seat from Donald Trump’s handpicked extremist candidate. But with the election in…

Last chance to give your input before Election Day (new survey enclosed)

This is it, Friend. Election Day is almost exactly one month away. The stakes couldn’t be higher: If Republicans flip just one Democratic seat, they’ll take back control of the Senate – where they’d use their majority to pass a nationwide ban on abortion and stop President Bi…

My final note of the day

This is the final note I’ll send to you before the biggest FEC fundraising deadline of my re-election campaign. I’m still $2,191 short – $2,191 short on resources to show the strength of this campaign, combat GOP attacks, and keep pace with my Trump-endorsed opponent and her…
