Hey John,

I’m spending today on the farm, butchering the good-fed Montana beef I picked up two weeks ago. Sharla and I will bring it with us to Washington in a suitcase because it’s what we’ve done year after year, and Montana meat is the best in the world.

While it may seem like a hassle to some folks, butchering your own beef is a part of our way of life out here—I know the rancher who raised it, so I know exactly where it came from and how healthy the animal was.

As the Senate’s only working dirt farmer, this isn’t the only thing that sets me apart from my colleagues.

Farming the land my grandparents first homesteaded has instilled in me a strong sense of work ethic and a perspective that most politicians don’t get the chance to have.

I know what it means to grow up in rural America—to have to drive long distances to the nearest hospital, to rely on your neighbors and community, and yes, to butcher your own beef.

I’m running to protect our way of life in the Last Best Place. I’ll stand up to anyone to defend our Montana values but I need our grassroots team to help keep me in this fight:

John, if you can, will you pitch in $10 or more toward my reelection campaign? I’m only asking because our mid-month fundraising deadline is at midnight tonight and your support fuels everything we do.

Thanks for being in my corner,

Jon
