two updates
Hi there, I have two updates: one good, and one not so good.
The good news: Newsweek reports that Democrats’ chances of winning the Senate have shifted in our favor, with forecasters saying Senate control is within reach.
The challenge: We set a $45,000 fundraising goal to get a head start in October, the last full month until Election Day, and the response hasn’t been what we hoped. We’re still $23,254 short.
If we miss this goal, we won’t have the cash on hand to support Mary Peltola, Josh Turek, Troy Jackson, Scott Colom, Abdul El-Sayed, James Talarico, and Sherrod Brown in their battleground races, right when momentum is on our side. And falling short at the very last minute will be the difference between winning and losing on November 3rd.
So, will you chip in $10 before midnight to help us catch up and send support to Democratic Senate candidates across the country?
With you,
Kirsten Gillibrand
