Last month, The Washington Post came out with a "Top 10 Senate Races of 2018" list. Eight of the 10 were incumbent Democrats.
I was one of the names on the list.
The others were: Tammy Baldwin [WI]; Joe Donnelly [IN]; Heidi Heitkamp [ND]; Joe Manchin [WV]; Claire McCaskill [MO]; Bill Nelson [FL]; and Jon Tester [MT].
We will all need the help of grassroots supporters like you to win our races. Today, we're combining our efforts to build a groundswell of grassroots support in the run-up to 2018. Contribute $8 or more to help out.
Since the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United, dark money spending in elections has exploded.
Back in 2012, special interests made me the "Hunted Democrat." They spent $40 million attacking me and propping up my opponent.
They're going to do it again this time around -- Bannon and Trump's people are already on the ground strategizing my defeat. And they're going to do the same to every one of my colleagues on that list.
The attacks have already started. We know they won't let up. And we're the ones who have to do something about it.
I've always relied on your support. My colleagues need it as well. So if you can, chip in $8 or more for the eight top Senate candidates of 2018.
With gratitude,
Sherrod
