A potential second Republican opponent

Danielle,

I officially have one Republican opponent challenging me for Senate — someone who officially changed his mailing address to a rental home in Massachusetts just days before filing. But new reporting indicates that others are rumored to jump into the race, with one potential opponent officially registering as a Republican just twelve days ago.

Apparently, the GOP is having trouble finding a Massachusetts Republican who is 1) from Massachusetts, and 2) a Republican, to run against me. While it's not clear who I'll be up against, what is clear is that they're pulling out all the stops to defeat me, and we can't underestimate this threat.

I'm not taking anything for granted, because I know that the GOP and wealthy special interests will fund my opponents' campaigns. They're desperate to take back the Senate and pass Trump's agenda for a national abortion ban and more giant tax breaks.

So no matter who is running against me, we need to stay competitive and fight hard to win — and we're able to do this with your grassroots support. Democrats need to expand our Senate majority — if we lose one single race this year, Republicans will have more power to pass their extremist agenda and reverse all the progress we've made together.

Republicans are working to get me and our movement out of office. Can you please fight back by pitching in $100 or anything you can so our grassroots campaign can compete and we can protect our Senate majority?
