Friend,

When I first ran for Congress, we based our campaign on a radical proposition: Could a campaign funded completely by individuals -- not PACs and not special interests -- win against dark money?

We proved that a campaign could be run differently, thanks to supporters like you. Your contributions helped us beat back the avalanche of dark money spending that we faced in 2018.

The 2020 election is set to have even higher stakes. Special interests are already directly attacking our campaign. Donald Trump's machine is dedicated to flipping all of Minnesota -- including our district. Dark money groups are organizing on the ground in our district.

I am asking you for your help before our February deadline because I know that whenever we face an obstacle, Dean Team members like you have helped us overcome it.

Before midnight tonight, please consider making a contribution to fund the outreach and mobilization that is mission-critical in the coming days and weeks.

I wouldn't be where I am today without you. I am grateful to do this work every single day.

I know that our mission -- to bring back government that listens and government that bridges divides and works for voters, not the entrenched interests that have traditionally held sway in D.C. -- will not be easy. But I believe that it's more critical than ever.

Special interests want us to fail. They want to see that we fall short and that this seat swings back into their hands for another 60 years.

We cannot sit on the sidelines. Before February ends, please make a contribution to prove that together, we can overcome every obstacle we face.

Thank you,

Dean
