I'm short on time with just a few days before our most important FEC fundraising deadline of the campaign so far, so I need to keep this brief before a meeting with my team. 

The tides have turned against Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) here in Iowa: The Des Moines Register revealed he's at RECORD-LOW approval with Iowans. Iowa's top pollster stood his polling shows “weakness”, and our grassroots campaign outraised him last quarter. 

But now national Republicans are sounding the alarm bells. Donald Trump himself flew to Iowa to endorse Sen. Grassley at a rally, and Mitch McConnell's allies currently have nearly $30 million at their disposal to protect him and take back the Senate.

Here's what I say to all that, John: The momentum is on our side. Iowa Democrats have an unprecedented opportunity to take back this seat, and as the youngest woman to ever flip a House seat from red to blue, I will fight with everything I have to defeat Sen. Grassley and protect our Democratic Senate majority.

The greatest way to seize that momentum right now – and show the strength of this campaign – is to knock our fundraising out of the park before this critical FEC reporting deadline. So please, will you make your first contribution of $5 or more to ensure we have the resources to defeat Sen. Grassley?

Thank you so much.
