John,

I’m not a career politician. I’m a dairy farmer.

I know what it’s like to get up for work at 3:30 am, trudge through feet of snow to feed my herd, and make difficult decisions to keep my farm afloat while providing for my family and employees. That’s exactly why I decided to run for Elise Stefanik’s seat and why I’m asking for your support today.

This is the closest House majority ever, so this race presents a real opportunity—and the work we do in the early days of the campaign will play a vital role in our success. Can I count on you to split $5 between my campaign and Josh Riley to help us prepare for this special election and flip NY-21 blue?

The North Country doesn’t need another career politician who isn’t even from our district and is just using us to further their political ambitions. Now more than ever, we need a leader who understands the issues families face on a daily basis. In Congress, my sole focus will be to deliver results for the North Country and tackle these issues, but I need your help to get there.

This special election is one of our first opportunities to fight back and flip a seat, so we need all hands on deck. Will you split $5 between me and Josh Riley to join our team and help us start our campaign off strong?

Thank you,

Blake
