We are 20 days out from Election Day, and I wanted to reach out and share a few things to keep in mind heading into the final stretch.
All of you already know that Jon Tester should never be counted out, and we’re confident victory is within reach in November. Here are a few reasons why we need your support:
- Jon Tester has always had razor-close elections, and this one will be no exception. In all of his previous elections, polling has been within the margin of error—but thanks to a strong grassroots team, we’ve won every single time.
- It is hard work and ground game that will secure a victory for Jon Tester again this November, and on that front, we are dominating. Like all Montana elections, this race will come down to turnout. We have mobilized a powerful organizing operation with the best-funded organizing program the state has ever seen, and we’ve knocked on more than 200,000 doors.
- The conversations we’re having with Montana voters have been very positive. We are talking to more and more Jon Tester supporters, and our message is working.
- Montana’s abortion ballot initiative is highly popular and could power record turnout. The ballot initiative received a record number of signatures to get it on Montana’s ballot—double the number required to qualify. Jon Tester supports this initiative and proudly defends reproductive freedom.
Our opponent Tim Sheehy is dodging the press as he fights off scandal after scandal. Over the last few weeks, Montanans learned about Sheehy’s steak dinners to lobby government officials, his comments calling young women “indoctrinated” for caring about reproductive freedom, and his disparaging remarks about Native Americans being “drunk at 8 A.M.”
That’s to say nothing of Sheehy’s toxic, deeply unpopular positions like transferring off our public lands, wanting to ban abortion, and advocating for the “pure privatization” of health care.
So now is the time to step on the gas, tune out the noise, and finish this election strong. Our campaign team is grinding it out for the next 20 days and leaving no stone unturned, no door unknocked, and no voter left on the table.
