Folks – I’m stressed. My campaign team just called me to share that we're still $51,947 short of our August fundraising goal.

I’ll explain more in a moment, but first I have to ask: Will you make a split donation of any amount right now to help us close the gap before our end-of-month deadline?

Mitch McConnell is flooding in millions of dollars to smear my record and boost his handpicked candidate. Unfortunately, these attacks are working, friend: The latest polls have this race wide open.

Look, I’ve never been your typical politician. I’m a farmer. I grew up in a 24-foot by 36-foot house. I still farm the land my parents homesteaded 100 years ago. (Sharla and I are harvesting as we speak.)

I try every day to do right by the people of Montana. That means standing up to anybody – including Mitch McConnell and his special interests – to improve health care for veterans, lower prescription drug costs, and protect Medicare and Social Security.

But if I don’t get more grassroots support before the end of August, there’s a very real chance our team could miss our goal. Mitch McConnell and outside groups are spending nearly $90 million to buy this Senate seat – and the only thing that can stop them is you.

As much as I hate asking, I have to: Can I count on you to make a split donation of $10 before our end-of-month goal? When we win in November, it’ll be because of folks like you.

Thank you for your support,

Jon
