Hi.

Sorry to bother you, John. I know you’ve been receiving a lot of emails lately but if you give me just a moment, I’ll explain why.

Tim Sheehy and his backers have virtually unlimited resources to attack me. My opponents are spending nearly $90 million in ads. Sheehy has even poured $2.4 million of his own fortune into his campaign trying to buy Montana’s Senate seat.

To make matters worse, we’ve fallen way behind on our fundraising targets—which means we’ve got a lot of work to do if we want to catch back up.

If we want to beat them, we have to hit our August goal in 2 days. No ifs, ands, or buts. There is no better way to make an impact on the outcome of this race than chipping in a grassroots donation today.

I hate asking, but I need to: Will you make a split contribution between my campaign and Fight for Progress to help us catch up on our goal before time runs out?

Thanks for everything,

Jon Tester
