Friend,

I have to be honest with you. I shouldn’t be telling you this, but you’ve been with me from the beginning, and I need you to know the truth about where we stand.

I just got off the phone with our leadership in DC. And then I spoke with our local team. They tried to be encouraging, but when you put the numbers on the table—the grassroots energy versus the cold, hard cash being poured in by the liberal dark money machine—it doesn’t look good.

I am more nervous than I’ve ever been in my life. I feel sick thinking about the possibility of failing President Trump. 

 If we don’t win this, we don't control the Senate. And without that majority, President Trump won't be able to achieve anything he was sent back to DC to do. His legacy, the future of our conservative movement—it all comes down to what we do right here, right now, in this single, hyper-competitive fight.

And here is the part I’m truly not supposed to share: I’m dead in the water if we don’t hit our emergency fundraising goal by the end of the month.

The liberal deficit is terrifying. They aren't just outspending us; they are flooding the airwaves with lies, and their outside groups are pouring millions into this state to cement their progressive control. I can’t come back from this deficit without an immediate surge of support from people like you who understand the stakes.

I’m humbling myself completely before you. If you have any capacity to give this cycle—even a small amount like $5, $10, or $25—I need you to give it to this race, and this race only. This isn’t a suggestion; it’s a plea.

I need your help. I need you to step into the gap with me, so I can go to DC and fight for the future we believe in and secure the Senate majority for President Trump.

Thank you for letting me be vulnerable with you. I will never forget it.

With deep respect and urgency,

Michael Whatley 

Candidate for U.S. Senate
