Hi folks,

Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown here. We’re reaching out today because we’re just about 70 days away from the most competitive election of our lives in the two most competitive Senate campaigns in the country. 

And we need your help.

Montana and Ohio are the only battleground states in the country that won’t see a lot of spending from the top of the ticket. You see, we’re a little different. We’re not the typical politicians you’d expect to see every day in the Senate. One of us is a seven-fingered dirt farmer. The other has been called disheveled, wrinkled, and rumpled. Neither of us are winning any best dressed awards anytime soon.

But the thing that really sets us apart? We’ll work with anyone to get the job done for our constituents. And we’ll always stand up to the special interests in Washington to help folks back home.

But our multimillionaire opponents are trying to buy our Senate seats. Together, we’re going to send them a message: Montana and Ohio are NOT for sale. 

We can’t write our campaigns million-dollar checks. But we’ve got something better: you. Our supporters are teachers, electricians, farmers, autoworkers, you name it – who work hard every day to make a living and together, we can make a difference. 

We’re building the largest on-the-ground grassroots campaign either state has ever seen because we won’t win this race unless we knock every door and talk to every voter.

That’s why we’ve set a rapid-response Big Sky Buckeye Fund goal to raise $500,000 in the next 48 hours. So we’re personally asking: Will you chip in $10 to split between our campaigns to power us through all the way to Election Day?

The next 70 days will be the most important and toughest so far. But that’s what it’s going to take to send this seven-fingered dirt farmer and disheveled champion for the Dignity of Work back to the Senate.

Thanks for having our backs. We won’t let you down.
