Hey folks --

I just got out of an emergency budget meeting and I hate to say it, but I got some bad news.

We missed our fundraising goal over the weekend. Our deadline is just a few days away and now we're falling even further behind. Republicans are already outspending our campaign and launching attacks against me a full six months earlier than the last time I ran for reelection.

So my team set an emergency goal of raising $25,000 TODAY to get us back on track for the week. At this point, we're $7,526 behind.

Can I count on you to split a donation between Chuck Schumer and me to help us close the gap? We can't afford to make any budget cuts right now -- especially since right-wing groups are already outspending our campaign.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between Chuck Schumer and Jon Tester:

I first ran for office because I saw the people in power prioritizing wealthy special interests over my neighbors. No one thought about the small family farmer struggling to put food on the table or the single mom working two jobs just to get by.

I'm fighting to make sure our government works for everyday people like you -- not the corporations, not the lobbyists, and definitely not the dark money groups writing huge campaign checks.

And now, I need your help to make sure we reach our $75,000 end-of-month grassroots goal in 6 days. Every dollar you give keeps me focused on doing my job in the Senate, not making those damn fundraising calls.

So, can you split a $10 donation (or more if you can) right now? Every donation matters to me personally, because I know how hard you work for your money.

Thanks for pitching in. I'll keep fighting for everyday folks across the country, and I'm proud to have you with me.

Jon
