re: flipping the Senate

I'm not under any illusions, Steven.

I'm running for Senate in my home state of New Mexico because I know that the working families of our country deserve a leader who actually cares about their futures -- but Trump and the RNC have a big red target on this seat as a potential pickup for Republicans in November, and they're campaigning aggressively to make sure I lose. Let me be clear: If Republicans win this race, our chance of flipping the Senate could be off the table. Flipping the Senate and ending Mitch McConnell's iron grip on our democracy is possible, Steven, but even if Democrats can pull off this upset, it'll likely be by razor-thin margins. That's why I'm asking for your help today. Our party cannot afford to let this Senate seat fall prey to Republicans and their massive fundraising machine -- and a strong Democratic Party is one of the only things standing in the way of that devastating outcome. I'm counting on folks like you to chip in what you can and help me keep this seat blue, because without your help, Mitch McConnell will likely serve another term as majority leader. So, Steven, if you can, will you split a $10 donation between my campaign and the DNC today? It's the best way to ensure that this Senate seat in New Mexico and so many others nationwide remain in play for Democrats. DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 DONATE: $250 Donate another amount As president, Joe Biden will move our country forward, but he will need a Congress who will work with him -- not stall and attack his agenda at every turn. For the past several years, Republicans have worked to do little more than win majorities, stymie progress, and give handouts to their wealthy and well-connected friends. That's all about to change. With your help, candidates from the school board to the Senate to the White House will be able to compete with Republicans, despite their fundraising machine. We've worked for years to build a Democratic Party capable of winning at every level, and all that's left to do now is execute the strategies that will help us win. But we need your help to get there. So I'll ask once more: If you're able, will you chip in $10 to my campaign and the DNC today? Momentum is on our side, and I'm counting on folks like you to help capitalize on it. Thanks for your support, Ben Ben Ray Luján U.S. Representative, NM-03 U.S. Senate candidate, New Mexico P.S.

I look forward to continuing this work in the Senate, but I'll only get there with help from folks like you. Will you contribute $10 to my campaign and the DNC today?
