Hey John, it’s Jon Tester.

As hard as it is for me to believe, planting season is just around the corner. That’s the thing about time, it always moves faster than we think it will.

I know it’s easy to look at the calendar and say “Election Day is far away. I’ve got time” – but I can tell you, every day matters and every action counts more than you know. Right now, I’m Mitch McConnell’s #1 target, and his super PACs have already committed nearly $65 million to beat me … with more sure to follow.

The truth is without your support helping us fight back against their attacks today, we could lose this toss-up race in November.

Outside groups will spend a truckload of money trying to win this race, John, making this the most expensive election in Montana’s history. Right now, we’re being outspent online, and that’s bad news. So it’s absolutely critical we hit our midnight fundraising goal.

Everyday I wake up and fight for hardworking folks like you, to make health care more affordable, to lower costs for families, because it’s a fight worth fighting. But right now I need your help, and we’re running out of time.

So please, will you split a couple of bucks between my campaign and Maggie Hassan's before the midnight deadline? Right now is the best time to make a difference.

Thanks. Your support means a lot to me.

– Jon
