My announcement today

Stabenow I'm inspired by a new generation of leaders in Michigan and have decided to pass the torch. Dear Friend, Today, I announced I will not be running for re-election in 2024. Here is a link to my full statement if you'd like to read it. While I still have a lot I want to accomplish in…

asking respectfully for one minute of your time

Stabenow Friend, 2022 was an incredible year for Democrats in Michigan and the U.S. Senate. Your support was a big part of that. Our grassroots team made more than 40,000 contributions to the campaigns and candidates we care about the most. We've got to keep the momentum for the future of…

Can I tell you something? It will just take a minute.

Stabenow Friend, Senator Warnock's inspiring victory in the Georgia runoff election on Tuesday was the culmination of a historic midterm election for Democrats in Michigan and across our country. Today I'm writing to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you did to ke…

Georgians are heading to the polls tomorrow

Stabenow Friend – I'm fired up! It is runoff Election Day TOMORROW here in Georgia. Our team is on the ground right now – knocking on doors and mobilizing the voters who will help us keep Georgia blue and expand our Democratic Senate majority. But we have a problem: Mitch McConnell's super …

I was just on stage with President Obama

Stabenow Friend, President Obama and I just stepped off the rally stage here in Georgia. It's an honor to have him by our side at this pivotal moment. If you didn't get a chance to join our rally, here's what you need to know: In 5 days, we're going to win this runoff election and keep Geo…

I'm counting on you, friend

Stabenow Friend: In a moment, I'm going to ask you to become a donor of our runoff campaign to keep Georgia blue. But first, let me explain why your support is so critical – and what could happen without it. My story is only possible here. You see, I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mo…

We're going to a runoff in Georgia

Stabenow This can't wait, friend: We're officially going to a runoff in Georgia's must-win Senate race, and I urgently need your help to win. If you’re in this fight with me, will you split a donation between me and Debbie Stabenow so we can defeat Herschel Walker and keep Georgia blue? Don…

We’ve got an incredibly tough fight ahead

Stabenow Friend, I just want to say thank you. Because of the strength of our grassroots movement, we've come one step closer to making history yet again here in Georgia. And we've shown the country that our fight for progress isn't over. We know we can win this – we have done it before! Bu…

Too close to call – here's what happens now:

Stabenow Friend, I've seen this too many times to recall – when battleground races come down to just a handful of votes, when it's too close to call. That's what's happening in Nevada RIGHT NOW, and with Senate control on the line, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) needs our help right now. S…

A history-making night in Michigan

Stabenow Friend, While votes are still being counted across the country, there are two things we can safely say about what happened in Michigan on Tuesday. The first is that Tuesday's victories for Michigan Democrats were historic. For the first time in 40 years, Michigan Democrats swept …

Stabenow Friend, Nevada’s Senate race is too close to call and with control of the Senate still up for grabs, I need your immediate support. I appreciate everything you've done for this campaign – for the hard-earned, grassroots dollars you've already invested. But now, I've got to make t…

Trump. In. Ohio. TODAY.

Stabenow Hello, It’s Tim Ryan. I have an urgent update, and I need you to hear it from me first. Donald Trump is in Ohio TODAY to campaign for JD Vance in a last ditch effort to buy back Republican Senate control. Soon, they’ll take the stage to rally their base. Please rush a donation her…

Red alert for WA-Sen

$10,316

Stabenow Friend, I wouldn't reach out again if it weren't important. Experts at FiveThirtyEight say our race in Georgia will decide Senate control. But polls show me 2 points down, and unless we raise another $10,316 before midnight, we won't have the resources we need to pull ahead and wi…

Stabenow Hey, I know it’s late. But my Fox News town hall with JD Vance just ended, and I need you to read this all the way through. JD clearly isn’t afraid to play dirty, and he attacked me personally tonight. He’s getting desperate, and his dark money backers are bound to spend HUGE sums…

update on the most important Senate race in the country

Stabenow Hi friend, it’s James, and I need to speak to you heart-to-heart: Tonight's end-of-month deadline is the most important fundraising deadline of my lifetime – and yours. Right now, our friend Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) is nowhere close to her final $1,000,000 end-of-month…

my FINAL end-of-month goal

Stabenow Hey Our FINAL end-of-month deadline is tonight at midnight. This is a HUGE deal because it’s our last chance to fully fund our TV ads and Get-Out-the-Vote efforts before the election. We have to send a strong message that our team is ready to fight back against the GOP’s attacks a…

time to get off the sidelines
