John,

How many emails a week do you get from politicians asking you for money?

Today, there's an epidemic of politicians treating their constituents like human ATM's. Every email is "the world will end if you don't give me ten dollars right now.

Sadly, I'm guilty of this too. I send you emails every week asking you for your hard earned money. I try to level with you and be honest, but it's still not right.

When I get DC, the first thing I will seek to accomplish is campaign finance reform. Our current system is broken and allows for rampant corruption and gives special interests and the powerful a leg up.

Sadly, raising money is a necessity in our current political system. In order to win, we need to be able to buy ad time, send mailers, and spread word about our campaign. And that takes money.

Last cycle, we almost beat Rep. Max Miller, a former Trump aide who has DJT’s full support. But we got outspent 10:1. We don't have special interests flocking to our side. We rely on the grassroots.

We need strong fundraising to get ahead in this race. If you could donate anything you can spare to our campaign, it would be greatly appreciated.
