Hi.

Sorry to bother you, John. I know you’ve been receiving a lot of emails lately but if you give me just a moment, I’ll explain why.

Tim Sheehy and his backers have virtually unlimited resources to attack me. My opponents are spending nearly $90 million in ads. Sheehy has even poured $2.4 million of his own fortune into his campaign trying to buy Montana’s Senate seat.

To make matters worse, we’ve fallen way behind on our fundraising targets—which means we’ve got a lot of work to do if we want to catch back up.

If we want to beat them, we have to hit our goal tonight. No ifs, ands, or buts. There is no better way to make an impact on the outcome of this race than chipping in a grassroots donation today.

I hate asking, but I need to: Will you make a split contribution between my campaign and UNITEDemocrats to help us catch up on our goal before time runs out?

Thanks for everything,

Jon Tester
