Hey John, did I ever tell you the story of when I first ran for the Montana State Senate?
When I first decided to run, I was told that I had to contact everybody I knew to grow the support I needed.
Luckily for Sharla and I, we had a list of folks who had us cut up their meat from our custom butcher shop. So we sent everybody on that list a letter letting them know I was running. We asked if they could support my campaign with a small contribution—and while I wasn’t expecting much, the response was humbling.
Folks gave whatever they could spare, from old $5 bills to handwritten checks for $20. And all I did was write a letter, but what I didn’t realize at that moment was that they believed in me.
And they believed in having a good person they could trust in the Montana Senate. That was something worth investing in.
I’ll never forget the Montanans who believed in me then, and now, I hope you’ll believe in me too:
This campaign is important to the future of Montana and the whole country. I’m counting on having you on my team, so will you chip in any amount to show your support today?
Please use the links in this email to start a monthly donation through ActBlue.
Things have certainly changed since then—those letters have become emails like the one you’re reading right now—but small-dollar donations from folks like you still make all the difference in tough races like this one.
Thanks for believing in what we’re doing here,
Jon
