Quick (and exciting!) update for you ahead of tonight’s mid-month fundraising deadline, John:

Last quarter, we raised a record-breaking $7.4 million, setting a high bar for our campaign moving forward. We learned last night that that is nearly $5 million more than our opponent raised in the same amount of time. Summer is a notoriously difficult time for fundraising — but thanks to folks like you, we’ve got some serious momentum.

This is the first fundraising deadline of the new quarter, and it’s more important than ever that we hit our goals early on. Unfortunately, we’re not yet where we should be, but if every person reading this message chips in right now, we’ll be well on our way.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

In a race this close, every donation, no matter what size, makes a big difference. We’re not accepting contributions from corporate PACs, which means that we’re relying on our people-powered movement to help us get across the finish line this fall. We couldn't outraise an incumbent Senator — much less two quarters in a row — without your continued support.

That’s why your donation matters so much today. Thank you.
