John,

Today is the final day of our first end-of-quarter fundraising deadline since an opponent entered this race.

I want to tell you why this moment matters so much to me personally.

My great-grandfather came to Minnesota from Lithuania, where his family had no real say in who governed them. He grew up in a place where the right to vote simply didn’t exist. When he came here, he built a life for his family in a country where freedom and democracy were real.

That experience shaped me.

It’s why I chose public service.

It’s why I’ve spent my career making elections more fair, more secure, and more accessible.

And it’s why I won’t back down now, even as disinformation and attacks on voting rights grow louder every day.

But I can’t do this alone.

We have until midnight tonight to finish raising $25,000, and we’re just $4,000 short. Every dollar will help us show that we have the grassroots strength to take on disinformation, protect the truth, and keep Minnesota’s elections secure.

Will you chip in $10 or more right now to help us meet this critical deadline?

I’ve seen firsthand that when Minnesotans come together, we can achieve extraordinary things.

That’s how we’ve built the highest voter turnout in the nation. And it’s how we’ll protect our democracy from those who want to undermine it.

This race is too important to sit out. I need you with me today. Please help us close our fundraising gap by midnight tonight by chipping in $5 or more right now →

Thank you for standing with me,

Steve
