Hey there – look, I realize it’s a Sunday morning and you’ve heard from me and my campaign a lot lately. But with just 9 days until Election Day, I am counting on you to help me reach our final $250,000 TV ad buy goal and send Chuck Grassley packing.

It is more important than ever that we have the resources to keep our campaign going strong. But right now, we’re still coming up short of what we need to keep our TV ads up in the final week. The polls show I am just 3 points behind Chuck Grassley. The Washington Post now calls this race a “toss-up.” And if we send Grassley packing, Democrats are guaranteed to expand our Senate majority.

I hope you’ll forgive me for emailing again, but I know you care deeply about winning this race and the future of our democracy.

So please, if you can chip in $5 or more right now, it would go incredibly far in powering my campaign these final days to defeat Chuck Grassley. Every dollar is going to matter if we are going to turn Iowa blue and protect our Democratic Senate majority.

Thank you for everything,

Mike Franken, U.S. Navy (ret.)
