You see, it happened in a split second, Friend — when a roadside bomb detonated under the gas tank of my vehicle in Afghanistan.

My body was instantly engulfed in flames.

The pain was unimaginable.

I thought my life was surely coming to an end, and I wondered how long it would be before I drew my last breath.

But when one of my soldiers extinguished the flames on my body, I knew God had bigger plans for me.

I stared death in the face and survived.

Friend, through the pain and years of recovery, I learned the most important lesson: Every single day is a blessing and giving your all for your country is a privilege and an honor.

My name is Captain Sam Brown, and I'm running for U.S. Senate because I believe with all my heart that the only reason I’m alive today is to serve my country to my last breath. 

It’s been less than a week since I formally announced my candidacy and I would be truly honored if you chose to become one of my first 1,000 financial supporters TODAY.

Duty First,

CPT Sam Brown, US Army (Ret.)

Republican U.S. Senate Candidate

P.S. I’m running for U.S. Senate in Nevada. Democrats have been barely winning every single year for nearly a decade — and winning in Nevada will be KEY to guaranteeing a Republican majority in the Senate in 2024. I can’t do this without you! Please, chip in whatever you can using this secure link!
