Sorry to bother you, friend. I know you’re probably busy so I'll just cut right to the chase:

My multi-millionaire opponent has already spent more than $43 million of his own money on ads, and I need your help closing the gap on his financial advantage.

So, could you do me a HUGE favor and chip in just $20 to our Maryland Senate campaign and Patty Murray before you close out of this email? Our midnight deadline is coming up, and I could really use your help right now.

I know what you’re thinking, friend:

How can my $20 compete with a multi-millionaire with nearly limitless resources?

It’s because of the power of this grassroots movement, because we’ve got thousands of supporters ready to chip in what they can, when they can — and believe me, it really does add up.

The ultra-wealthy shouldn’t be able to just buy their way into the Senate, which is why I need your help, friend. Can I count on you to split a donation of just $20 between my campaign and Patty Murray to help us cut through the noise and boost our Maryland-first message before our midnight deadline?

Thanks for your help!
