John,

My name is Brandon Presley, and it is my honor to write to you for the first time as the official Democratic nominee for governor of the great state of Mississippi.

If you make me your governor, I promise you this: I'll never forget who I am, where I came from, or who sent me.

Can I count on you to make a donation before midnight to power our campaign to fire Tate Reeves? I need the full strength of this grassroots team now, at the very beginning of the general election.

Know this: When my name goes on the ballot this November – your name goes on the ballot.

This campaign is about the people of Mississippi, who are sick and tired of the corrupt good ole boy system that has left working families behind.

This campaign is about a single mama in Vancleave.

The volunteer firefighter in Tunica.

The health care provider in Meridian.

A teacher in Jackson.

A small business owner in Tupelo.

And you.

From now until November, Tate Reeves will spread lies and try to scare folks into voting for him. But one thing will remain constant: I am running for governor to move Mississippi forward for all Mississippians.

Your support is critical to our campaign. Will you contribute $25, or whatever you can afford, tonight?

Together, we’ll tell Tate and his cronies, in the words of that old Willie Nelson song, “turn out the lights, the party's over.”

Thank you, John.

Brandon Presley
