John xxxxxx, 

Our Independent campaign is officially turning heads.

The quiet work we've been doing on the ground exposing the D.C. corruption and spreading our message about fighting for South Dakotans, is now hitting the national radar. The polls are finally confirming what we’ve felt on the ground.

Our latest survey shows that I lead incumbent Senator Mike Rounds by three points.

This new lead is why the political world is panicking. They know that a disciplined, anti-corruption veteran who rejects the party line is the only profile that can defeat a 32-year career politician in South Dakota.

We already know an Independent can win this race. I am the right guy for the job. I’m asking for you to make that goal a reality by pitching in a few bucks to support my campaign.

This is our chance to build momentum. Unfortunately, how much money you can raise from folks giving $5 at a time is the ultimate proof of concept for the rest of the country.

We need the grassroots funding to:

1. Fund the ad buys that share my story—Lt. Col., ethics professor, prosecutor, Park Ranger—with every voter who just learned Rounds is vulnerable.
2. Prepare for the inevitable corporate PAC attack ads that will flood the state now that we are leading.
3. Prove that South Dakota is a high-leverage investment that changes the math in the entire U.S. Senate.

The window to seize this national attention is small. Please, help me prove that this movement is funded by the people, not the powerful. Will you chip in $5 right now to turn this 3-point lead into a decisive victory?

Let’s seize this moment and make history together.

Independent Candidate for U.S. Senate
