Folks, in just a moment I’ll ask you to make a contribution to my campaign before our first public fundraising deadline, but first I hope you’ll give me a moment to explain why it’s so important to give — especially today.

I’m the most vulnerable Senator up for reelection in 2024 and Republicans have already named me as a top target. Mitch McConnell and his super PAC allies will throw everything they’ve got at me to try to flip my seat red — they’ve already started spending money on attack ads against me.

On top of that, our first end-of-quarter FEC deadline is tonight. This will be the first time our fundraising numbers will go public since announcing my official reelection campaign.

It’s a BIG deal. Mitch McConnell and our potential Republican opponents will get to see just how strong (or vulnerable) our campaign is. If McConnell finds any weaknesses in our report, he’ll think Montana is ripe for the taking. The GOP only needs to flip TWO seats to retake the Senate majority, and they’re laser focused on Montana.

Let’s be clear: This election isn’t a sure thing. Experts say this race is a toss-up and rank Montana as one of the seats most likely to flip red. That’s why it’s SO important you make a contribution today — everything is on the line. 

Will you split a contribution between Ben Ray Luján and my campaign today? We need to raise another $27,402 by midnight tonight to reach our FEC end-of-quarter goal. Your support couldn’t come at a more critical moment:

We’ve won tough battles before, and I’m confident we’ll do it again. Thanks for sticking with me.
