[ [link removed] ]MONTANANS FOR TESTER
John—did you
know I only have two fingers on my left hand? Luckily, that’s just enough
fingers to count how many days are left until Montanans start voting. 🤙
[ [link removed] ]Will you pitch in $2 (ha, get it?) to help me win the most competitive
Senate race in the country? My team set a goal of raising $200K by
midnight, and we need a big push *right now* to get there.

Let me tell you the story of how I lost three of my fingers in a meat
grinding accident as a kid—don't worry, I'll leave the rough parts out.
I grew up in a twenty-four-by-thirty-six foot house. My dad’s butcher shop
was right next door. And in 1966, my left hand met the business end of our
family's meat grinder.
You might be asking yourself why a nine-year-old was allowed to use the
meat grinder, but as a young farm kid, I knew how to operate trucks,
tractors, power tools—you name it.
I don’t remember putting my hand there, but I sure as hell remember
pulling it out. We rushed to a local doctor. My mom and dad had to drive
me over 40 miles to the closest hospital where I could get surgery.
After I lost my fingers, I had to give up my dreams of playing the
saxophone and took up the trumpet. I graduated college with a degree in
music.
But I never gave up farming. I still work the land my grandparents
homesteaded over 100 years ago, planting every spring and harvesting every
August. And I even have the same meat grinder. Sharla and I still use it
to this day. (It's a good meat grinder!)
I’m telling you this story because I’ve never forgotten who I am or where
I came from. I’m a proud dirt farmer from just outside Big Sandy, which,
in my opinion, helps me be a better senator for Montana.
We’ve been able to accomplish a lot in the Senate—more than I can count on
my fingers, but that doesn’t really matter since there’s so much more to
do. That’s why I’m turning to you:
[ [link removed] ]I proudly rely on grassroots support from folks like you. So with just
2 days to go until Montanans start casting their ballots, I’m asking you
to make an investment in our campaign by contributing any amount you can.
I’ll need you with me if we want to win this race.
