John—I want to tell you a little story:

I grew up on my family’s farm and it’s still home today. That explains a lot about me.

When I was a kid, I lost three fingers on my left hand while working in our family’s butcher shop. I don’t even remember putting my hand in that meat grinder—but I damn sure remember taking it out!

Here’s why I’m telling you this: Just like my $12 flattop haircut from my local barbershop and my collection of dirt-stained t-shirts, my background keeps me grounded and focused amid the partisan politics.

With all the political games and corruption in Washington, you need somebody who will fight to protect our public lands, create good-paying jobs, and stand up for rural communities like mine.

I’m not what most people picture when they think of a U.S. Senator, and that suits me just fine. I’m proud to be a dirt farmer fighting for the people in Montana and across the country.

Because of that, I don’t have much patience for shady super PACs a lot of other folks (ahem, like my opponent) rely on. Instead, I rely on grassroots supporters like you.

That’s why I’m so grateful for your support. Emails like this one are a big part of our fundraising. $5 here and $10 there goes a long way in a campaign like ours.

So, here’s the part where I ask: Can you contribute $10 today to help me keep me fighting for Montanans and rural America?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

CHIP IN $50 NOW CHIP IN $100 NOW

CHIP IN $250 NOW ANOTHER AMOUNT

You don’t need ten fingers to know right from wrong and you can bet I’ll spend every single day trying to do right by working families, farmers, students, and veterans here in Montana and across the country.

I appreciate your support, and anything you can pitch in today will go a long way for our grassroots campaign.

Thanks again,

Jon
