, Money in politics disgusts me. I genuinely despise our political campaign system, and I loathe asking for donations, especially 445 days out from an election. We need campaign finance reform. The sad truth is, for me to compete against my corporate-backed opponent to my right, my campaign requires resources. Early contributions help me build the necessary infrastructure to energize my team, equip our volunteers, and ramp up our voter outreach.

If you've already donated this month, thank you! With you by my side, I will never give up. I will never quit. I will never stop fighting for you.

, I need your help starting the second half of this fundraising quarter with a boost. Can you donate $25, $50, or even $100 to my campaign? Like I said, I really hate to ask, but... Your support is critical to progress and advancing Democratic principles across the rural heartland. We must ensure our party puts up the strongest, most viable Democratic candidate against extremist Trumper, Rep. Bergman. I am confident in our strategy and our two-cycle approach. I've never been more energized, organized, and motivated to take on big money and radical right-wing policies. Rural Michigan yearns for progress, and the opportunity next year is ripe. We have to open up eyes and minds, but with your help, I'm eager to be the candidate to do it. Grassroots support means everything to me. My opponent may have a couple-hundred big money and dark money backers, but so far this year alone, we have 1,200 dedicated, loyal donors like you and counting, making candidates like me possible. I grew up in a rural working-class home. My mother raised six kids by herself. During hard times, my family relied on government assistance, but I was blessed with opportunities to thrive, opportunities I want to pass on to our grandchildren and the entire constituency of #MI01. Hardworking rural families are the heart of the Nation, and we deserve nothing less. Our current representative isn't getting the job done. His atrocious voting record makes it more difficult for us to succeed, socially and economically. Jack Bergman is failing Northern Michigan and the UP. We must replace him. We tried like hell in 2022, but a first-time candidate can rarely unseat an incumbent, so after two years on the campaign trail, I'm continuing the battle dauntless with a round two. MI01 hasn't had a repeat candidate in decades, and I'm honored to be the one to build momentum, because with you, it's possible. , will you please join this movement? I appreciate your consideration. Best regards, —Bob
