Folks,

My team is approaching our critical end-of-May fundraising deadline.

Unfortunately, we’re not where we wanted to be by now. Here’s why we can’t afford to fall short of crucial benchmarks like this one—and why I am asking you to split a contribution between my reelection campaign and Tim Kaine.

As I dive into this 2026 campaign—an election where the very future of our country is going to be at stake, an election where we’ll see if Democrats have what it takes to stand up to the Trump administration—I have to be realistic.

Look at the presidential election. Billionaires were virtually willing to spend anything and go through any dark money channel to buy a policy from the Trump administration. It would be naive of me not to expect that these same powerful folks put up a $50 or $100 million superPAC against me

We have to be ready. I could very well be facing my toughest and most expensive reelection race ever.

So, if you can, split a donation between my reelection campaign and Tim Kaine to protect my seat and help Democrats take back the Senate. Even if it’s $5 or $25, it makes a huge difference.
