It’s hot as hell, John.
But that’s good news for the peas. They’ll be ready to plow soon as we head into harvest season.
I love being a farmer. Even as a kid, I knew I wanted to take over the family farm. It gets my hands dirty and keeps me grounded. It’s tough work—but it reminds me why I fight so hard for Montana’s families.
And spending 16 hours on a tractor all day gives me some time to think in solitude. I even have two pictures of my tractors sitting on my desk in Washington. I call them my “thinking pictures.”
Most folks out in Washington don’t give a rat’s you-know-what about the issues facing rural America. Rural Americans deserve a voice in the Senate, and that’s why I’m working so hard to win this race.
But being a farmer—the Senate’s only working dirt farmer—means I have a lot less time to fundraise than my opponents.
Trust me, I hate asking for money. I know how hard you work for every dollar. But the truth is, this race will be one the most expensive Senate elections in Montana’s history.
Outside groups have reserved nearly $65 million to distort my record—with more to come. We’ll need to significantly ramp up in these final four months to respond.
So here’s the part where I have to ask, John:
Could you pitch in $10 before midnight? With farming taking up so much of my time, I’m counting on this grassroots team (that’s you!) to help make up the difference in this critical election >>
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
I’ll let you in on a secret: The key to a successful harvest is hard work months before during planting season. And John, we’re running this grassroots campaign the same way. We’ve got just 100-some days left until the election, so anything you give right now will help us run the strongest possible race.
Thank you for your support.
—Jon
