This is a difficult time for many in our community. All of us here at Ben McAdams for Congress hope you and your families are staying safe and healthy. Please refer to the CDC for the latest information and guidelines on COVID-19, and if you’d like to pause our fundraising emails for a little, please do so here.

Hi friends,

I’ve emailed you before about how we’re expecting a lot of outside groups to come in and try to buy this race. Last Thursday, a DC-based Super PAC did just that: They spent six figures on TV ads in the Salt Lake City area to target me and take this seat back for themselves.

Everything we’re working for is too important for us to let that happen -- the only way we can keep fighting for health care, Social Security, and so much more is by holding on to swing seats like this one. And the only way we make sure Utahns’ voices can continue to be heard in Washington, D.C. is if we beat these outside groups in November.

So, I wanted to personally ask you to chip in to my campaign if you can, so we can run our own TV ads and win this thing. Here’s the link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mcadamsq22020

Thank you so much for being on this team, and for continuing to support my campaign. If you haven’t already, please read my team’s email below for more info on what we’re up against in this race.

All my best,

-Ben

Subject: something big happened today

Today, one of the biggest Republican Super PACs bought up just short of a million dollars in TV ads targeting Ben.

Look, a lot has changed in the past few weeks, but this makes it clear that one thing hasn’t: The dark money groups we shut out of power in 2018 are back, and they’re planning to spend big to defeat Ben and buy back their influence.

They aren’t stopping, so we can’t either. Can you chip in right now to help Ben answer back with TV ads of his own?

We worked so hard to elect Ben because we were sick of a broken Washington, D.C. that didn’t work for Utahns. Now, we have someone in Congress who we know is fighting for us every day, and team, we’re not ready to lose that.

But this super PAC is trying to buy this seat and get to work undoing the ACA, cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and rolling back the environmental protections that keep us safe.

The best way to stop a group like this with their divisive messages is with our own TV ads showing the truth about the positive work Ben is doing -- but we need resources in order to do that. So, can you chip in today to help Ben push back with his own TV ads?

Thank you so much for all your support!
