John, these campaigns are full of decisions.

I don’t have to tell you that we’re up against Kari Lake right now. She ran a full statewide campaign in 2022, she’s got the endorsement of Trump, millions of MAGA followers nationwide. You name it — everybody knows her.

Me, I’m a Congressman… a big job in my community, but I’ve never run for a statewide office. I don’t have billionaires or former presidents lining up to support me. And when I think about it I’m still just a dad, a husband, a Marine.

I know that if we’re going to win, I have to make sure that all of Arizona knows my story and what I stand for.

That’s why we decided to put up our first TV ad of the cycle, Lucky Lima. You can watch it here.

Here’s the thing, though… once you go up on TV, you can’t come back down. We have to keep this up if our strategy is going to work. And we’ve still got about eight months until Election Day.

That’s why going up this early was such a tough decision. But we decided to do it because this team has always had my back, and it’s why I’m writing to you now.

We’ve got millions of dollars to raise to pay for these ads. To win this race. To hold the Senate, and to help defeat Trump in Arizona.

I know a donation of $20 seems like a drop in the bucket compared to what we need to raise, but I also know that if everybody reading this right now chipped in we’d absolutely destroy our fundraising goals.

Not everybody donates, though. And that’s why I’m counting on you.

Please, if you can afford it, make your first online donation today. It could be for anything — $20 would be great, but any amount helps. And it all adds up.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Appreciate you, and everything you’ve done to get us this far.

Thanks again, and Semper Fi.
