Friends,

We’re just a day away from our critical end-of-month deadline. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably gotten a lot of messages like this one asking for your support. And most will say the same thing: this deadline matters.

But here’s why it really, really matters for this unique Senate race in Georgia, where I am the only Democratic incumbent Senator seeking reelection in a state Trump won:

1. WE HAVE TO SHOW STRENGTH. There are three Republican candidates running against me, and national Republicans have already spent millions of dollars on TV and digital ads attacking me. A strong showing in November proves to my opponents (and their Super PAC allies) — that our movement in Georgia is thriving and unstoppable.
2. THERE’S NO TIME TO LOSE. To win decisively, my team is already building a huge statewide campaign. That means more rallies. More organizers. More outreach — and early outreach — to voters in every corner of the state. That all takes resources right now. We’re building and we’ve got to keep building bigger and faster every day.

So please, if you can, use this link to contribute anything you can to Senator Jeff Merkley's Blue Senate Candidate Fund and my reelection campaign in Georgia before our end-of-month deadline tomorrow night. I’d be grateful to have your support.

I don’t love asking for money. I don’t think anyone does.

But the reality is I have to. I can’t win without you.

Citizens United opened the dam for limitless dark money to flood into elections.

That’s a big part of why Congress is broken and corrupted. It’s why we have really expensive elections.

And also it’s why campaigns like mine have to build serious grassroots fundraising operations from Day One.

I need your help!

I am literally MAGA’s #1 target.

They will spare no expense and try every dirty trick.

Yes, this election will be tough.

But I know how to win tough fights. I’ve done it before.

Let’s do it again.

Please, consider making a contribution to Sen. Merkley's Blue Senate Candidate Fund and my reelection before our critical end-of-month deadline tomorrow night. Every donation counts. Each one sends a powerful message to MAGA that we’re ready to fight.

Thank you.
Jon
