John,

I’d like to ask you to split a contribution between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project ahead of Monday’s fundraising deadline, but first, I think it’s important to give you an update on the race and explain why your support makes such a difference, especially right now.

I’m very proud of the campaign we’re running. Every day, I’m connecting with folks across Montana—on family farms or in high schools or with Montana’s veterans. I always keep those conversations in mind when fighting for Montana’s priorities in the Senate. All of that work is powered by folks like you, and I’m deeply appreciative of your support.

But while I’m focused on defending Montana’s values and fighting to keep our state the Last Best Place, you better believe that out-of-state super PACs are gearing up to spread lies and attack my record.

This is just the beginning, John. We’ll only face more attacks from here on out as my opponents pour more money into this race. The bottom line is that we’ve got to be ready to take them on.

Mitch McConnell is trying to buy this Senate seat—and we can’t let him.

That’s why I’d really appreciate anything you can pitch in a split donation ahead of Monday’s fundraising deadline. We’ve got a strong grassroots team, and we’re building a campaign operation that can weather the attacks, but we can’t win without your help.

Thank you for your support.
