Don't Do It: the underdog

the underdog

Friend, I’m humbled that Iowans have put their faith in me to serve as their Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. And I’m humbled by all the amazing supporters who invested in our campaign to make it happen.

But to win the primary, we risked everything and spent down to zero. That means to win this race, we’re relying on grassroots donors like you to help us immediately refill our campaign coffers.

The Senate majority is on the line, so this is urgent: Can I count on you to rush a $5 contribution split between my campaign and Jacky Rosen’s to ensure we have the resources to flip Iowa blue?

RUSH A DONATION!

I’ll level with you, team: Even though Democrats' path to the Senate majority rolls through Iowa, we’re still underdogs in this must-win race.

A big part of that is money. My Republican opponent, Ashley Hinson, has taken millions from special interests, and she entered the General Election with over $6 million in the bank.

And that’s before the shady dark money Republican Super PACs spend their $40 million war chest.

But the thing is, I’m no stranger to tough fights.

I wasn’t supposed to win my Iowa State House races. I went door to door, crawling up stairs, dragging my wheelchair after me to talk to voters face-to-face.

That’s how I won a deep-red Trump district. Twice.

If I had time in this campaign to drag myself up to every front porch in Iowa, believe me, I would. But I don’t. The only way we can win is to keep getting our message out on the airwaves across Iowa.

And to do that, we need money. Today. Not in a month or even two weeks. Right now.

So will you help split a donation today to make sure we have the immediate resources to get back on the air and ensure Ashley Hinson and the Republican Super PACs can’t drown out our positive message of change?
