John,

My team just texted me that our fundraising is heading in the wrong direction. We’re running out of time to get things back on track.

Look, I wish I didn’t have to send these damn fundraising emails, but the honest-to-God truth is that we can’t win this race if we don’t have enough resources to compete.

As you’re reading this, dark money groups are pouring millions of dollars into Montana to attack me and buy this Senate seat. It’ll take all of us working together to help fight them off.

That’s why I’m asking: Can you please split a few bucks between my campaign and Fight for Progress before our end-of-month deadline? I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important.

This team has helped us win tough fights before, but I’m counting on you to get off the sidelines and into this race now more than ever.

Thank you.

—Jon
