U.S. Senate candidates Warren and Deaton give their closing arguments on Election Day

As Election Day approaches, Massachusetts' two U.S. Senate candidates have delivered their closing arguments to Bay State voters.

In dueling emails this week, incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Republican hopeful John Deaton each portrayed the race as a binary choice between candidates with clear visions and distinctions.

“Elizabeth Warren has become the candidate of control, the candidate against freedom,” argued Deaton, a Swansea lawyer running for elected office for the first time, in an email to his supporters.

“She has pushed policies that hurt working families, restrict personal freedoms and make it harder for Americans to prosper,” the Republican argued.

Warren has argued that Deaton, who has said he would defy the Republican Party's leadership, would be a reliable vote if the closely divided Senate flips into Republican hands on Election Day.

And with the race for the White House between Democratic Vice President and Republican President Donald Trump on a knife-edge, Cambridge's Warren was also vying for the top spot.

Senate Democrats are struggling to maintain a narrow 51-seat majority, with Harris often called on to cast a tie-breaking vote.

“A conversation with a voter could determine whether or not they make a plan to vote. A few ballots per precinct could change an entire state,” Warren’s campaign wrote in an email to supporters.

A state's “electoral votes could mean the difference between President Kamala Harris (it feels wonderful typing those words) or four more years of Donald Trump in the White House (you know how it feels reading those words).” the email continues.

Emails from both campaigns directed supporters to fundraising pages.

Warren, who is seeking a third term, has consistently held a lead in both the polls and campaign funds.

While some incumbents run as if they are outsiders, Warren told MassLive that she is “running as if I respect the voters of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which I do.”

“I’m so grateful that they took a chance on me 12 years ago, someone who had never run for public office,” she continued. “And I fight every day to honor the trust they place in me.”

Speaking to MassLive in April, Deaton said he believes “it's time to find someone to fight for things,” further explaining that Warren “fights for the rich and wealthy” while he “fights for the poor and the middle fight” wants class.”

Deaton is dealing with “a nationally known, party-wide legend,” longtime Bay State political consultant Anthony Cignoli told MassLive at the time. “Their ability to raise money is amazing. It will not rely on a base in Massachusetts (for fundraising).”

Election day is November 5th.
