This is long, but I hope you will read all of it

Over the last year, I've weighed whether I can contribute more to the battle for our country's future by running for president or by running for re-election to the Senate. And the truth is, to win that battle we need both strong leadership in the Oval Office and strong leadership in the Senate.

Friend, Right now, we are in a battle for the soul of our nation and we have to win. Over the last year, I've weighed whether I can contribute more to that battle by running for president or by running for re-election to the Senate. And the truth is, to win these battles we need both strong leadership in the Oval Office and strong leadership in the Senate. That's why I am not running for president. To fix America, we must take back the presidency and the Senate majority. This month marks the end of 2019's first quarter, and it's a major milestone for every campaign. It's critical that the DSCC -- the only committee exclusively dedicated to electing Senate Democrats like me -- has a strong showing. So please, give $1 now, and help take back the Senate. Three great crises are threatening America. A democracy crisis, where gerrymandering, voter suppression, and dark money are corrupting our ability to elect a government by and for the people. A climate crisis affecting our forests, our farms, our fisheries, costing more and more families their lives and livelihoods. And an opportunity crisis, strangling the American dream as affordable housing, quality education, health care, and good paying jobs keep getting further out of reach. We are way off track and the future of America hangs in the balance. But any challenge of substantial size -- and these are big challenges -- needs both champions in elected office and a surge of grassroots power. For that reason, I'm asking you, each of you, to join me in this battle. To put it bluntly, America can't win without you. Will you give $1 now to make sure the DSCC can finish the first quarter of 2019 strong and stay on track to taking back the Senate majority? http://www.dscc.org/Start-2019-Strong-With-Senator-Merkley Thanks, Jeff Merkley U.S. Senator, Oregon
