I can only count to 9. Well, at least by hand.

That's because I lost a finger as a result of injuries from a roadside bomb while serving in the Army in Afghanistan.

But God gave me a second chance at life. I made it down the long road to recovery. I met my wife in recovery, started a family and a small business, and now I'm running for the U.S. Senate to keep serving my country.

I was reading some financial reports my campaign team sent me and it looks like I need 10 more donors today to reach a crucial fundraising goal. Can I count on your help? I can't do this on my own.

I'm a Republican candidate who's fighting a "Duty First" campaign. I put my service to God and Country above all.

If elected, I'm going to shake up Washington. I've already survived hell, so corrupt career politicians don't scare me.

I'm TIED in the polls but Chuck Schumer and national Democrats are funneling millions of dollars to my opponent. It's important that I crank my own fundraising up a notch in order to pay for advertising, voter contact efforts, and the endless tanks of gas it takes to drive across the state of Nevada.

So Fellow American, I’m humbly asking for your help today. I only need 10 more donors to reach today's goal and stay on track to BEAT my liberal opponent.

With your help, I'm confident we will flip the Senate Majority for Republicans and take our country back.

Thank you,

Sam Brown
