Hi John,

Blue Amp Action said I could reach out with some exciting news.

I’m Hallie Shoffner – a sixth-generation Arkansas farmer – and I want you to be among the first to know I’m running for U.S. Senate.

I'm stepping up because too many hardworking people in Arkansas and across the country are being shoved to the back of the line. The farmer. The truck mechanic. The single mom pulling a double shift just to make ends meet. And for the last ten years, our current senator, Tom Cotton, has made their lives harder.

• He voted against the Farm Bill – twice,
• Handed tax breaks to billionaires while blue-collar families got squeezed,
• And is more interested in chasing headlines than helping the people who actually make this state run.

Earlier this year, I had to make the hardest decision of my life: I shut down my family's farm, not because we didn't work hard, but because Washington's broken policies made it impossible to keep going.

So if I can't farm, I'm going to fight. For families. For fairness. For Arkansas.

This campaign is about making Arkansas work for the people who call it home. Folks who wake up early, do their jobs, raise their kids, and ask for nothing more than a fair shot. I'm running to ensure that family farmers aren't left behind, that programs like Medicaid and Social Security remain strong, and that we lower the cost of living so families can move forward, not fall behind.

Now here's the truth: To compete in this race, we need to prove Arkansas is in play, and that starts today.

We've set a 24-hour fundraising goal to show the strength of this campaign from the jump. Will you split a donation between our campaign and Blue Amp Action to help us gain the momentum we need to take on Tom Cotton?

I'm not a politician. I'm a farmer. And I'm running this campaign the same way I ran my farm – with grit, with honesty, and with everything I've got.

Let's get to work.

Hallie

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do!
