| | | I know you get a ton of emails from a ton of politicians. I worry that my own story can get lost in the shuffle of it all. I worry you may even think I’m a politician! For 26 years, I served as a Navy SEAL defending our country. | When you grow up as poor as I did, enlisting in the military is the best way to lift yourself up by the bootstraps. For a kid like me – raised by a single mom who needed food stamps – serving in the Navy was a gift and an honor. I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to serve my country. I’ve seen what happens in countries that don’t have free elections and are led by extremist regimes during my time deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. I know what it takes to stop these evil extremist groups. Today our own country started creeping closer to those regimes I fought in rather than what our Founding Fathers envisioned for us. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised that once again, I felt a calling to service. |
I want to make sure that the America I grew up in is here to stay. I want to show my kids and grandkids that if you want to protect something, you need to step up, speak out, and put in the work to defend it. Now, my liberal opponent thinks my love for our country and my devotion to patriotism make me “extreme.” I’ve faced the Taliban, so trust me when I say that you and I are no extremists. However, the facts won’t stop liberal outside groups from spending over $4.4 MILLION on ads calling me extreme and lying about my record! While I hate asking for people’s money – especially with Bidenomics eating into too many folks' paychecks and social security checks, my ads to get the TRUTH out are fueled by the people I serve – hard-working people like you. That means I unfortunately have to ask you for whatever you can spare to get my ads on the air and get the truth out there: |
I really hope you’re in a position to donate today, and if you’re not, say a prayer for my campaign and our country before you go to bed tonight. Together, I believe we can save America and defeat the Left’s narrative that patriotism is extremism. We can show our kids and grandkids that America is the best country in the world, but only if we continue to put in the work. I’m willing to roll up my sleeves & get to work for our country, just like I did when I enlisted at 18. Are you willing to put in the work, too, Patriot? |
