This doesn't make any sense, folks:

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

National Republicans have made defeating me a top priority and experts are rating my Senate race a tossup, so I really need your support to compete 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, with $4 million 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 ask you to split a donation before midnight and help reach these crucial goals. Remember, every dollar you give is matched, so don’t miss this chance.

Thank you for having my back,

Jon
