This is important -- in a moment, I’m going to ask you to contribute to my campaign. But first, we want to tell you why this race is so important.

• Experts are now calling the future of the Senate a "toss-up," meaning if we lose even just one seat in November, we could lose our Democratic Senate majority.
   
• I won my last race by only 1,017 votes – one of the closest Senate races in history – so the GOP thinks that this seat is their best chance at retaking Senate control.
   
• The GOP is spending over $25 million in attack ads against me. If we fall behind our fundraising goals, we'll cede the airwaves to the GOP and lose any chance at defending this seat.

That's why I’m writing to you today. I hate asking for money, but with the GOP spending millions in this race, I can't afford not to ask.  

So please, will you donate to my campaign right now? I rely on grassroots donors like you to help fuel this campaign forward.
