Hey John, it’s Jon Tester.

I’m reaching out to see if you could split a donation of $7 or more to help us defend Montana’s Senate seat. Here are 7 reasons why your donation today is so important (that’s one for every finger!):

• Political experts rank this race a toss-up, which means your gift will have a huge impact on our ability to raise the resources we need to win.


• Tim Sheehy is wrong for Montana. He wants to privatize health care, sell off our public lands, and would support a national abortion ban.


• Mitch McConnell is desperate to beat me. He named me one of his top targets, and outside groups are spending millions to pummel me with attacks.


• Their attacks are working. The polls have tightened into a statistical tie, and this race couldn’t be any closer—your $7 will help us pull ahead.


• I won my first Senate race by just 3,562 votes… and this election could be even closer.


• We’re less than 100 days out from Election Day, and we’re falling behind in our fundraising. If we can’t afford to keep our ads up, our opponent’s attacks will drown us out.


• We can’t win without you. If every person reading this chipped in $7, we’d have the resources we need to overcome the attacks, break our tie in the polls, and win this race. But not everyone will, so I’m asking you personally, John:

Can I count on you to make a split donation of $7 or more? Your support today could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

If we win in Montana, we can defend the Montana way of life, safeguard a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions, and protect our public lands for generations to come.
