John —

I’ve got to be honest with you. I never thought this is how it’d go.

When I was sleeping on the floor of our apartment, I never thought I’d be running for Senate someday. All I knew was that I was going to have to work my butt off to get into a good school — after that, I had no idea.

When I was serving in the Marines, I never thought I’d be in this position. On patrol in Al Anbar, Iraq, I was about as far from Congress as you can get.

Even today, I never thought hundreds of thousands of people would contribute and volunteer to help elect me.

And I never thought I’d need to ask supporters like you to do more than that to help me take back Arizona’s Senate seat.

But I need to ask you to do more. We’re facing the first major attacks of the race, a television buy of $10 million from Lake and the NRSC. The former president is attacking me directly. And we’ve missed a few fundraising goals already this year.

So, please… You probably didn’t wake up this morning thinking you’d make a donation to my campaign, but I really need you if we’re going to win in Arizona.

Can you PLEASE make your first online contribution to my campaign ahead of Memorial Day? We have to stay on track to our goals, and I know it will be tough while folks are taking time off this weekend.

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

Thank you in advance for chipping in. This will add up fast if we’re all doing our part.
