John —

I’ve got to be completely honest: Kids that grow up the way I did do not become Senators.

I’m the son of a single mom. Between me and my three sisters, we could barely make ends meet.

But I was lucky — I had my mom looking out for me. As I got older, I had teachers and members of my community looking out for me. When I went to Iraq, I had my Marines looking out for me.

And today, as we run one of the most competitive races in the country, I’m still incredibly lucky. I’ve got you with me, and more than 300,000 people have chipped in to keep us going.

And honestly, I never thought I’d need to ask folks like you to do more than you already have to take back this Senate seat. But that’s what I need you to do.

I know you probably didn’t wake up this morning thinking you were going to make a donation to my campaign, but if we’re going to defeat Kari Lake that’s what I need you to do.

Can you PLEASE make a split donation to my campaign and Fight for Progress? It adds up fast when everybody’s chipping in.

This is important — so thanks in advance.

Ruben
