BREAKING: I’m running for Congress

John, I wanted you to hear this directly from me: I’m running for Congress. Last year, I came within 5,800 votes of unseating one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country -- and now, I have an unprecedented chance to finish the job. I’ve set an ambitious goal -- $5,000 raised before midnight -- to get my grassroots campaign off the ground. I’ll explain why in a second -- but if you don’t have time to read my whole email, can I count on your $10 before midnight? »

John, I’ve dedicated my life to public service.

But my run for Congress isn’t about me.

I’m running for my parents.

They worked night and day on factory lines to give my brothers and me a shot at the American Dream.

Now I’m running to make sure all Americans -- our families, our workers, our small businesses -- can have the same opportunities I did. That’s why I’m reaching out and asking you personally: Will you rush in $10 split between my campaign and UNITEDemocrats before midnight to help me kick off my campaign strong? »

I’m running for my kids, Ava and Luca.

I want nothing more than for my children -- and every child -- to have the greatest opportunities possible.

But Don Bacon is in Congress fighting for cheap political points rather than families like mine and yours.

John, I’ll be honest: We need a voice in Congress fighting for our families, not corporate CEOs. So can you split $10 and help me get this campaign off the ground? »

John, I never liked asking you for money.

But last year, I lost to Don Bacon by less than 6,000 (!!!) votes.

And in a presidential year, all eyes will be on our district and its pivotal electoral vote.

So believe me when I say -- I’ll need a strong grassroots team behind me every step of the way.

John, I know I can defeat Don Bacon. But DC Republicans have funneled him more than $1.8 MILLION to protect his seat and continue his voting record against our families. That’s why I need to kick off this campaign with a massive show of support -- $5,000 before midnight -- to get my message out and flip this seat for Nebraskans. Can I count on your $10 split between my campaign and UNITEDemocrats right away? »

Thanks for your support,

Tony
