This doesn't make any sense, folks:

A group of generous donors is matching every donation supporters make to my campaign until our mid-month deadline, but somehow we're still short of our mid-month fundraising goal.

National Republicans have made beating me a top priority and experts are rating my Senate race a toss-up, so I really need your support to fight back against my self-funding opponent and the waves of outside spending crashing into Montana.

This slowdown could not have come at a worse time. While outside special interest groups ramp up their spending with $4,000,000 in new spending, our fundraising is slowing to a crawl.

I’m not here to beg for a donation, but falling short has real consequences. If everyone who received this email chipped in $5, we could close the gap tonight, but the truth is not everyone will.

So I’m humbly reaching out to ask you, friend, to split a donation between my campaign and Jeanne Shaheen's before my mid-month deadline tomorrow at midnight and help me reach these crucial targets. Remember, every dollar you give is matched, so don’t miss this chance.

Thank you for having my back,

Jon
