Friend, it’s John James. I’m hoping you can read this email before you turn off your screens for the day - it’s one of the last I’ll send before our critical end of month deadline.

But I don’t want you to donate out of guilt or because you feel pressured to. I want you to chip in because you truly believe in our mission.

My story starts at West Point when I was just 18 years old. From a young age, I knew I wanted to serve my country, and after graduating, I was commissioned as a U.S. Army Apache Helicopter Pilot.

My service wasn’t easy - I logged 753 flight hours on the front lines in Iraq. But it was worth it because I was defending the country I love.

After my service was over, I knew I couldn’t sit on the sidelines. The radical Left was trying to undo all the values my fellow service members and I had fought for, and I wasn’t going to let them get away with it.

I’ve spent the past two years fighting in Congress to defend our freedoms against socialism, and now, the Left wants to make me pay for it.

Look, I hate this part of emails, but it’s the truth - I really need your help right now.

I’m in one of the closest races in America, and without a SURGE of grassroots contributions, we’re going to fall critically behind.

If you can, can you pitch in now to help us meet our end-of-month deadline and continue to FIGHT for the future we deserve in America?
