Fellow American,

At West Point, we had a code: cadets don't lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.

First the New York Times lied about my childhood and family, and now CNN is lying about my business record.

And what’s worse, they are doing it all because I’m within striking distance of an entrenched career politician, Bob Casey, in the #1 swing state in the nation that will determine control of the U.S Senate.

Bob Casey is getting Leftist news sources to do his dirty work, and I WON’T TOLERATE IT.

Here's the truth: this is a long message and I hope you will read all the way to the end.

I grew up in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. We lived on campus at Bloomsburg State College and my parents owned a farm ten minutes down the road.

I had summer jobs baling hay and trimming Christmas trees at nearby farms.

I’m incredibly proud that my dad was chosen to be president of Bloomsburg State College (now Bloomsburg University) at only 34 years old.

I’m so proud of my parents’ teaching careers and to have been raised in Bloomsburg.

It was there that I wrestled and played football and was nominated to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

And it was there that I came home to a parade after serving in combat during the Gulf War.

After the Army, I earned a Ph.D. in international relations before moving to Pittsburgh to start a career in business. I worked my way up to become the CEO of FreeMarkets, a successful tech startup that employed hundreds in Western Pennsylvania.

I was then called to service again, this time in the highest levels of government as Under Secretary of Treasury and as Deputy National Security Advisor.

Following this, I joined Bridgewater Associates, one of the largest, most successful investment firms in the world, which manages the pension plans of groups including teachers, firefighters and law enforcement.

I have lived the American Dream, and I am running for Senate to bring my decades of experience and love for our country to fix our broken economy that is a direct result of policies supported by my opponent, who has spent 18 years in Washington with NOTHING to show for it.

I knew getting into this race could mean things would get nasty, but it’s sad to see we’ve fallen so far that these media outlets like the New York Times and CNN are pushing the Democrats’ baked narrative about my upbringing and my business record.

CNN and Sen. Bob Casey's Economic Illiteracy

I’ve opened myself and my family up to attacks from the left, and every day feels like a battle. But I’m no stranger to fighting for what is right and if we don’t elect leaders to go to DC to clean up the mess the career politicians made, we will lose America as we know it!

Here’s where I need your help, %%=Propercase(first_name_most_recent)=%%. We need to combat these lies with the TRUTH about me. The Democrats are seeing the same polls you and I see. They know if Kamala Harris and Bob Casey lose Pennsylvania, they lose it ALL, and they are going to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to try and defeat me.

I hate asking for money — I’m not a career politician, and it’s not in my nature — but I have no choice but to ask if we’re going to hit our fundraising goal for the final stretch of the campaign. Will you chip in $30 or more right now to fight back against the lies from the Left?

Chuck Schumer and his allies are working overtime to obliterate my campaign. They have committed to spend whatever it takes to defeat me. They know if I win this race in Pennsylvania, it’ll be IMPOSSIBLE for Democrats to keep their majority in the Senate.

If we don’t show the Democrats we can win this race, it’s game over. That’s why I’m hoping you can spare $29, $50, or even $100 to help me fight back against the lies.

Your donation will take us one step closer to victory, and I am so grateful for your support.

Thank you,
Dave McCormick

P.S. Democrats from all over the country are pouring money into this race to defeat me because they know this race could flip the Senate red. Will you chip in $29 or more to make sure I have the resources to WIN?
