Received this e-mail from U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D. WI) in support of Cal Cunningham (D. NC), Mark Kelly (D. AZ), John Hickenlooper (D. CO), and Jaime Harrison’s (D. SC) U.S. Senate campaigns:
Mitch McConnell’s super PAC just dumped $67 million into negative attack ads in critical Senate races across the country.
Our candidates have McConnell and his GOP buddies feeling nervous about their chances in November — and it’s no wonder!
Take a look at these numbers:
Cal Cunningham (D) leads Thom Tillis (R) by 46-41% in North Carolina
Mark Kelly (D) leads Martha McSally (R) by 47-42% in Arizona
John Hickenlooper (D) leads Cory Gardner (R) by 51-38% in Colorado
Jaime Harrison (D) leads Lindsey Graham (R) by 46-42% in South Carolina
Democrats have the momentum, but our chances to flip the Senate remain uncertain during this crisis. The GOP’s attacks are only going to get worse from here on out and their money will keep piling up against us.
Our candidates can defeat them, but they need the resources to do it. With campaigns changing the way they operate and moving virtually all fundraising online, they need our support now more than ever.
We appreciate any contribution you are able to make, but please only pitch in if you are financially able to. This is an unprecedented moment, and the most important thing you can do right now is to take care of yourself and your loved ones first.
Thank you for anything you are able to give. Stay safe.
