Friend, 

 

My whole life I’ve never hesitated.

 

I applied to the United States Military Academy at West Point the first chance I got, to follow in my father’s footsteps in putting on a uniform of my own.

 

I proudly carried out my missions in Afghanistan, and rushed into battle alongside my brave fellow soldiers when the time came to protect our own. 

 

I didn’t let my injuries stop me from living my new life:

 

A life where I fell in love, got married, and started a family.

 

And I won’t hesitate now because I know Washington needs leaders who will go to work for the people, leaders that have the determination and faith to make the decisions that need to be made for this country.

 

But it’s going to take all of us, Friend. And there’s no time to waste.

 

Last month we set records. Not because of billionaire mega donors but because of thousands upon thousands of brave patriots like you stepped up, Friend.  

 

THIS is the month that is make or break for our efforts. 

 

And right now, my opponent has more cash piling up than we've ever seen from an incumbent in our state.

 

So as much as I hate to ask with such urgency, it’s times like this that call for us all to take action wherever and however we can. 

 

Will you step up today to help us notch our August goal so we can overcome this obstacle and catch up to our opponent?

 

I also know that times are tough. So If you can’t contribute today, your prayers for me and my team mean just as much. 

 

I am proud of the faith and dedication of our grassroots movement. 

 

Sincerely,

 

CPT Sam Brown
