John, I won’t beat around the bush.

Can you pitch in three bucks to fuel my people-powered reelection campaign? Your gift will be split between Fight for Progress and my campaign.

This might surprise you, but $3 goes a long way toward winning this race. That’s because we’re powered by folks just like you, and I’m damn proud of that. I don’t answer to super PACs or special interests.

We’ve got what it takes to defeat Mitch McConnell and his cronies, but the truth is that they’re already pouring truckloads of money to defeat me.

They’re trying to turn me into something I’m not because they can’t beat who I am.

I’m a farmer. I’m a senator. And I’m a Montanan til I die.

I’ve never let my time in Washington change me. I’m not about to start now.

If every person reading this email chipped in $3 today, we would get ahead on our fundraising goals for the month and kick off the election year swinging. So I need to ask you: Will you support our grassroots-funded campaign and split a donation between my campaign and Fight For Progress today?

I’m grateful for all you do for this campaign.
