John xxxxxx,

I grew up in a small farming community, and I know the value of a dollar. That’s why I find the current tariff chaos—and the politicians supporting it—absolutely unforgivable.

Mike Rounds and the career politicians in D.C. are playing a reckless game with our lives and livelihoods. They know the truth: tariffs are a tax on American farmers.

Their party-line loyalty to Donald Trump and his absurd tariff policy has caused commodity prices to plummet, market relationships to crumble, and is now enabling corporate overlords to take over family farms, short-changing the hard-working people of South Dakota.

I’m asking you to join me in standing up to politicians like Mike Rounds who won’t buck their own party at the expense of the folks who voted him into office in the first place. I’m asking you to chip in a few bucks to my Independent campaign for Senate.

Trump, Rounds, and the GOP literally subsidized Argentina’s soybean exports—which went to CHINA—while our own crops rot in the field.

Make that make sense because I sure as hell can’t.

This isn't just about free and fair trade; this is about integrity and standing up for those you were elected to represent. Mike Rounds has failed that test. He and the Senate Majority Leader know this policy hurts their constituents in South Dakota, but they refuse to speak out because toeing the party line is the only thing that matters.

I am running as an Independent because I will never sacrifice the livelihood of South Dakota farmers for the sake of party loyalty.

As a former prosecutor and ethics advisor, I will bring the common sense and discipline needed to stop the political chaos destroying our traditional institutions. But to fight the big corporate money that funds Mike Rounds, I need the backing of regular folks who are playing by the rules.

Your contribution today is an investment in the family farm. It helps us fund the grassroots campaign that will finally hold Mike Rounds accountable for taking South Dakota for granted. Chip in any amount you can today. Join me in fighting for the family farm.

Thank you for joining me to put people over parties.

Thank you.
