Let me tell you about my trip.

Friend,


Because the Democrats held our government hostage for over 40 days, I couldn’t
rely on air travel to get me from my home in Wisconsin back to DC toFINALLY end
the Chuck Schumer and the Democrats’ shameful government shutdown.


With planes out and no time for trains, I decided to ride the most reliable
means of travel I know:my Harley-Davidson!

<[link removed]>
I fired up my Milwaukee Iron and rode more than 950 miles from western
Wisconsin to DC in time to proudly cast my vote to end the government shutdown!


The journey was long, cold, and, at times, pretty perilous. But, I cannot tell
you how glad I was to make this trip!


It’s shameful that the Democrat Party decided to shut the government down for
OVER 40 DAYS and cut off Americans from services they rely on. But there is
absolutely nothing within my power that I won’t do to representYOU and fight
for Americans.


As a retired Navy SEAL, I’ve been in some serious life-or-death situations in
my day. But on my trip, I did one of the mostdangerous things I’ve done in a
really long time. I rodethrough Chicago at night in the snow while wearing a
Green Bay Packers hoodie - that's a triple threat of danger!

Then, on the highway in Indiana, it was around 10 degrees below zero and icy
formiles on end. After trying to push through, I decided that I needed to make
sure I got to DC in one piece to cast my vote! So I pulled off for the night to
rest up and let the road conditions improve.

I had to stop off at a hotel for the night after riding through miles of ice!

After a tough ride through the mountains of western Pennsylvania, I finally
made it through a pass and started heading into a valley. I said a quick prayer
thanking God for helping me get through the mountains safely. And as soon as I
had finished my prayer, I turned and saw a perfect, beautiful rainbow overhead.
To me, that sums up everything;this country is worth any sacrifice I can make.
I was sent to DC to work for YOU and no one - I really mean NO ONE - will ever
prevent me from doing that!

<[link removed]>
I’m fired up to be getting back to work! Continuing to support our farmers,
veterans, and every working American is my top priority.


Listen, liberal billionaire megadonors and Democrat top brass see me as a
threat. They know that I am a relentless, determined conservative who will
ALWAYS fight for Americans. They’ve seen what I’ve been able to accomplish in
Congress and they’re throwing everything at me to knock me out in 2026.

I have the plan, message, and the strong will needed to beat these Leftists.
But a Navy SEAL is only as good as the Team surrounding him!So if this is the
kind of attitude and commitment you want to see from your representatives in
DC, then I ask that you support me today. Even a donation of a single dollar
will go a long way >>

DONATE TO SUPPORT DERRICK NOW >>

<[link removed]>
So what do you say?Will you have my back in this fight? DONATE TODAY >>

<[link removed]>
I hope you’ll lend your support today. But if you don’t feel like you’re in a
place to contribute even just $1 right now,that’s ok! All I ask is that you
keep me and my Team in your prayers!


Thanks for reading this! May God bless you and your family!
