John,

As Minnesota’s chief elections officer, I’m in the democracy business. That means I make it my business to defend democracy, to protect the freedom to vote, and to lead with the truth.

A huge challenge this year is disinformation. That’s a polite way of saying: Lies about our election system – and about the last few elections in particular.

Those who spread disinformation about our election system claim to be motivated by election integrity.

Give me a break.

A lot is on the line, and this race matters a lot. Our first end-of-quarter fundraising deadline since an opponent entered this race is on Sept. 30th. We need a MASSIVE grassroots fundraising surge, which is why we have a $25,000 goal. Will you please consider chipping in $10 or more before our EOQ fundraising deadline?

Minnesota’s voter turnout is routinely #1 in the entire nation. Over 76% of eligible voters voted in the last election.

Numbers like that speak for themselves. What they say is: Minnesotans have faith in our elections, and they vote in record numbers because they know our elections are fundamentally fair, accurate, honest, and secure.

But my opponent and disinformation activists are going to try to flip this seat. We need to be able to fight back. Will you please consider chipping in $10 or more right now?

Thank you for standing with me,

Steve
