John,
As a former Navy SEAL and special forces veteran, I’ve seen my fair share of battle. Between my and my wife’s service to our country, we’ve sacrificed years of our lives to make America a more safe and prosperous nation and to protect our God-given freedoms and liberties. We served so that our children and yours might grow up to realize their own American Dreams.
Duty to country. Service and sacrifice over self, those are the traits that define me. I’m proud of the work we did for our country. That said, the events of August 2021 rocked me to my core and ultimately led me to launch a campaign for the United States Senate this past June. <[link removed]>
In August 2021, I was putting out wildfires in California by day as part of the aerial firefighting company that I run; by night, my colleagues many veterans like me <[link removed]> and I were working the phones trying to get our friends and allies out of Afghanistan before the takeover by the Taliban. I remember vividly that at one point I was trying to help an ally sneak through a tunnel to get him and his family to the airport <[link removed]> so that they could be evacuated on a U.S. military aircraft. The Taliban wanted these high-value targets dead; they wanted their families dead.
This continued for days. Throughout the entire process, I kept thinking to myself, “The adult will come in the room and say, ‘Hey, this is a disaster; we’re going to stop this.’” <[link removed]>
Every day it got worse.
Every day it was a disaster.
The adult in the room never materialized.
Then, 13 Americans were vaporized at the gate to Kabul’s airport. <[link removed]> Billions of dollars in military and human assets were left behind – all so Joe Biden could get a press conference saying that he’d pulled the country out of an “endless war.”
I’d sat in the homes of the families that we were frantically trying to get out; I’d promised them that we weren’t going to leave them behind. So, you can imagine the dishonor that I felt <[link removed]> because of the promises we weren’t able to keep to the people who’d sacrificed so much to help us combat evil.
It was in the aftermath of the fall of Afghanistan that I ever truly considered entering politics. Deciding to launch a campaign for the United States Senate wasn’t an easy decision. I don’t want to make money; I don’t want to be famous; I don’t care to be someone important – but the United States needs leaders who understand the sacrifice that it’s taken to build our country. When your country calls and needs you, you have to answer. <[link removed]>
Unlike Joe Biden, I understand what it is to serve our country. Not service in politics, but on the battlefield. <[link removed]> I’ve been wounded in service of our nation; I’ve lost mentors and friends who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice so that future generations will be free.
I’m reaching out to you today because if this campaign to flip Montana’s U.S. Senate seat is going to be successful, I’m going to need the help of every conservative donor who reads this letter. <[link removed]>
Help flip this seat >> <[link removed]>
Elect a fighter to the U.S. Senate >> <[link removed]>
Twice in a row, Joe Biden has pulled us out of two wars for political purposes.
We fought in Iraq, I was there.
We fought in Afghanistan, I was there.
And each time, for political purposes, Biden pulled out our forces and damaged our nation’s reputation in the process. And my opponent in the Senate race, Democrat Jon Tester, supported Biden both times.
I want to be able to look at my children and be able to tell them, “Yes, you should serve your country, as your mom and dad did. Your parents put on the uniform; you should do the same.” <[link removed]>
But when we have a president who is willing to pull the plug on a whim for political purposes, it’s hard to tell future generations the sacrifices in service of God and country will be worth it. <[link removed]>
So, John - that’s what I’m fighting for. I’m fighting to restore faith in our American way of life. I entered the political arena to ensure the sacrifices my friends made weren’t made in vain.
Help flip this seat >> <[link removed]>
Elect a fighter to the U.S. Senate >> <[link removed]>
