John, 

This November, Mississippians have the opportunity to elect a governor who will truly represent their best interests, not out-of-state corporations or special interests, in what could be our state’s first competitive gubernatorial election since 2003.

There’s only one person in this race who I know will do that, and it’s Attorney General Jim Hood.

We have a real shot at taking the governor’s mansion with Jim as the nominee: after first winning statewide office in 2003, he’s gone on to win reelection three times since, always winning with a double-digit lead.

Not only can Jim win, but he can make real progress for the people of Mississippi: he’s dedicated to expanding affordable healthcare, improving public education, and growing our economy by creating good-paying jobs and supporting small businesses and farmers.

Jim is a proven leader who will put Mississippi’s working families first, and that’s why I’m proud to support his campaign for governor.

Join me in supporting Jim: make a contribution of $5 or whatever you can afford to help give him the resources it’ll take to win this critical race in November.

Don’t get me wrong: this is going to be a tight race, especially with the opposition’s attack ads trying to mischaracterize Jim and his record. But with enough grassroots people-power to mobilize voters across the state, political media outlets like DailyKos are saying “Hood may be able to pull off an upset in November.”

I know Jim has what it takes to win and represent all Mississippians: it’s just a matter of giving him the resources to get out the vote and defeat the corporate-backed political machine trying to maintain their grip on power.

Will you support Jim and me today by pitching in a grassroots contribution of $5 or more?

Your contribution, your voice, and your vote can truly make the difference and help us move Mississippi forward.

Thanks,

Mike
