He's facing a run-off election for the Senate and needs all the help -- financial and otherwise -- he can get.
Every Senate vote we can chip away from the GOP could help.
The election is on December 10, so time is of the essence. Here's Foster's site:

The Last Democrat Left Fighting
If Foster Campbell can win a run-off for Louisiana’s Senate seat, the Democrats will be that much closer to stopping Donald Trump.
BY MATT SLEDGE
The crowd packed itself thick in a grimy bar in New Orleans last week. A folk and blues band was playing its songs, beloved among the city’s downriver hipster set. But the real star of the show was an aging cattle farmer from conservative northern Louisiana.
His name, which few people in the crowd knew before this year, is Foster Campbell. In a run-off election next month, he will vie for the last open U.S. Senate seat. He is a longshot—but if he can defy the latest public poll, he might also be the Democratic Party’s last best hope of slowing down Donald Trump.
Although Republicans secured control of the Senate on election night, the institution’s rules still give considerable power to the minority party. If Democrats control 49 seats instead of 48, they will be that much closer to peeling off Republicans to stop some of Trump’s most controversial agenda items.
Or as Campbell puts it, “I might be the deciding vote on privatizing Social Security, privatizing Medicare. One vote can make a difference in the Senate.”
