This doesn't make any sense, John:

A group of generous donors is matching every donation supporters make to my campaign until our mid-month deadline, but somehow we're still short of our mid-month fundraising goal.

With Republicans naming me as a top target and experts rating my Senate race a toss-up, I really need your support to fight back against my self-funding opponent and the waves of outside spending crashing into Montana.

This slowdown could not have come at a worse time. While outside special-interest groups ramp up their spending spree (to break up repetition) with $4,000,000 in new spending, our fundraising is slowing to a crawl.

I’m not here to beg for a donation, but falling short has real consequences. If everyone who received this email chipped in $5, we could close the gap tonight, but the truth is not everyone will.

So I’m humbly reaching out to you, John, to ask you to split a donation before the mid-month deadline and help us reach these crucial targets. Remember, every dollar you give is matched, so don’t miss this chance.

Thank you for having my back,

Jon
