John, it’s time for some brutal honesty:

There’s less than a week before our end-of-month deadline and we need to make up for the drop in donations we saw over Thanksgiving.

This means we need to raise another $175,000 before Thursday at midnight.

While it may sound like a lot, if every single person reading this pitched in a couple of bucks right now, we’d meet our goal and then some.

But the truth is, not everyone does. We expect that. But that’s why it’s so important you chip in.

If you donate today, that’ll add to what Stephanie from Helena pitched in earlier this week, adding even more to what James from Billings chips in monthly. That’s what makes grassroots teams so powerful, we’re at our strongest when we work together.

Hitting our goal on Thursday is crucial because we have a long, hard cycle ahead of us. This will be the toughest fight Jon has ever faced, and the fundraising can’t start slowing down now. We’re up against super PACs, dark money donors, and outside interests, so please:

We’re humbly asking you to pitch in ahead of Thursday’s deadline if you’re able. That way we can make up for lost ground, keep pace with our opponents, and help Jon keep getting things done for Montana.

Please use the links in this email to start a monthly donation through ActBlue.

Thanks, John.
