John: It’s Angus King.

No matter how many times I travel from Maine to DC and back, I’m always happy to return home. There is nowhere else like our state, and we all play a role in making it special. But with my LAST end-of-month fundraising deadline on Thursday, I’m counting on your support in Maine so I can keep doing my part in Washington.

I’ll cut to the chase. I’m up for reelection in November, and the most important election of our lifetimes is only a week and a half away. Getting contributions like yours is like gas in the tank and will determine how comprehensive our get out the vote program can be. Will you help me out by contributing $10 to my campaign now?

I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling like a bit of an outsider without a D or an R next to my name. We’re living in divided times where everyone is expected to choose a side. But I envision a government where our representatives put that aside to find effective solutions to important problems – especially when those solutions require compromise.

And here’s the kicker: when we come together, it works.

So John, will you contribute to my campaign before our most important deadline of the year? Every dollar counts:

Even though leaving home is hard, I’m always proud of the community I come back to. It pushes me to keep working hard to be a Senator you can be proud of too.
