John,

Our mission to restore voting rights for those who've left prison behind was a significant milestone. With dedication and hard work, we passed a new law, granting this fundamental right to 55,000 Minnesotans.

But here's the challenge: A single judge, acting without proper legal authority, declared this new law unconstitutional and imposed probation sentences that included a ban on voting.

I've teamed up with Attorney General Keith Ellison to fight for what's right. We are confident that we can correct this ruling, but we need your support.

With an election just days away, we must ensure every eligible voter can exercise their right. This is a call to action, and we need your help. I'm looking for 5,000 people to amplify our message and correct the record before our end-of-month fundraising deadline. Can I count on you to chip in $5 or more now?

This challenge reminds us that we must always safeguard the freedom to vote. We must stay strong against any attempts to undermine this fundamental right.

As your Secretary of State, I promise you that I will always be on the front lines, fighting to ensure all eligible voters can make their voices heard. But I need to know you're standing with me.

Your contribution will help us continue this vital work. Please chip in before our deadline.

Thank you for standing with us.

Steve
