John xxxxxx, 

On Saturday, I went to the "No Kings" rally in Rapid City.

The partisan noise machine, the same one that keeps guys like Mike Rounds and John Thune in power, tried to frame the entire event as a "Hate America Rally." Speaker Mike Johnson called the participants people "who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic."

My experience was entirely different.

I met military veterans, furloughed federal employees, ranchers, teachers, and nurses. I spoke with the police who were there. It was a well-run, peaceful event, and everyone was there for the same reason I was: to say, clearly and calmly, that no one is or ever should be above the law in America. Not a billionaire, not a member of Congress, and certainly not the president.

That simple idea, that bedrock of accountability, is why I swore an oath as an Air Force officer, and it’s why I’m running as an Independent today.

But here is the real issue: Too many politicians have traded that oath for loyalty to one man or one party. They won't even speak out against the chaos, the insider trading, or the Epstein list because they're terrified of losing their Big Money donors.

That’s how our political dysfunction of the shutdown, the high costs, the tariffs, gets camouflaged as "left vs. right" when it is really Big Money vs. Little Guy.

I don't owe favors to partisan elites. I don't take a cent of corporate PAC money. The only way to stop career politicians like Rounds, who take their seat for granted while they watch Big Money rig the system, is with a campaign that answers only to the people.

We have the momentum: when voters hear my background, I lead Mike Rounds 43% to 35%. That margin proves South Dakotans are hungry for change.

But to make sure every voter hears that message—to make sure the Little Guy can finally win against the Big Money machine—we need to fight. Will you chip in $5, $10, or $25 right now to fund this fight for accountability and help me prove the people still matter more than the party line? [ [link removed] ]

We have to keep our heads in the game and show up every single day. Thank you for showing up for our republic.
