Hi there, it’s been exactly one year since we launched our campaign for reelection. So I wanted to share a story with you:

I grew up on my family’s farm and I still work the land today. That explains a lot about me.

When I was a kid, I lost three fingers on my left hand in a meat grinding accident while working in our family’s butcher shop. I don’t even remember putting my hand there—but I damn sure remember pulling it out.

Here’s why I’m telling you this: Just like my $12 flattop haircut and my dirt-stained t-shirts, my background is a big part of the reason I remain grounded and focused on defending Montana.

With all the chaos in Washington (especially now), you need somebody who will roll up their sleeves and get to work.

I’m pretty different from most people who end up in the U.S. Senate. I’m a proud dirt farmer trying to do what’s right for the people in my state and across the country. But I’m in the toughest campaign of my life, and I need your help more than ever.

So here’s the part where I ask: Can you split a critical donation between my reelection campaign and Forward Majority? Your donations directly power everything we do, and it would mean a lot to me personally if you chipped in today.

You don’t need ten fingers to know right from wrong and you can bet I’ll spend every single day trying to do right by working families, farmers, students, and veterans here in Montana and across the country.

I appreciate your support, and anything you can pitch in today will go a long way for our grassroots campaign.

Thanks again,

Jon
