John,

Back in the Navy, you did a lot of work before a big mission.

You knew your job front and back. You trusted your leaders. You could count on your team.

Tonight, I've got a debate. I'm ready to do my part. But before I take the stage, I need to know you have my back.

Here's why: This is one of the last opportunities I have to make my case directly to Arizona before early voting begins.

So, before I take the stage, I'm hoping you'll chip in $5.

John, we've missed our goals a few months in a row now — and that's started hitting our plans to reach voters across Arizona.

So, if we have a big day of fundraising and reach our goals we can double down, hit the airwaves, and get our message out.

But if we don't, we could fall behind in this critical final stretch. And polls are showing this race as close as 1 point lately.

I know you would let that happen, John.

So please, if you can afford it, split a $5 donation between my campaign and Kirsten Gillibrand's before the debate starts tonight. I'm counting on you to help me fight back: 

This team has stepped up time and time again to help our campaign reach our goals during critical moments. And this moment, right now, will have a huge impact on our chances in November.

So, I hope when I get off the debate stage, I'll learn that we reached our goals and are able to fund voter outreach. It's never been more important.

Thank you,

Mark
