Friend, Did you see me on Fox and Friends? I talked about my liberal, career politician opponent’s record of failure. There was a lot to cover — it’s 30 years long. He’s failed to help small businesses. He’s failed to stand up to China. Friend, he has even failed to show up to work! He missed 84% of the meetings held by the Small Business Committee while in the House and 89% of those held by the Congressional Executive Committee on China as a Senator. He’s simply not delivering for Michiganders who desperately need help. Instead, he’s focused on twisting every word I say and lying about me to win re-election. I’m focused on tearing down barriers to the American Dream and increasing access to prosperity and opportunity for every American. Friend, will you help me? Watch my interview on Fox and Friends and help me win in November by chipping in any amount you can afford. But let’s take a step back — I want to tell you a little bit about my story and why I’m running for Senate in 2020. In four generations, my family has gone from slave to sharecropper to potential Senator because of their relentless hard work and the opportunity and promise offered by the American system. My family story inspired me to believe in the promise offered by the American Dream, and my father’s military service inspired me to use my skills and blessings to defend it to the best of my ability. My mission began as a cadet at West Point and then I went to Ranger school and flight school, and was deployed to Iraq to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I flew more than 750 combat hours in an Apache Attack Helicopter and learned firsthand what it takes to defend the American Dream. I learned that protecting our country and our ideals takes incredible sacrifice and that we can never grow complacent in our mission. I returned home to my community to run the company that my dad started - a global automotive logistic supply company. I worked hard, created good-paying American jobs, and met the love of my life — my wife Liz — and started a family. But I couldn’t remain on the sidelines. Even though my military career was over, I felt like I had more to give. I wanted to continue to serve the country and my community in any way that I could. Friend, I never envisioned myself as a politician. But after watching Washington fail to deliver on promises for decades, I decided that I had to take action. I couldn’t let cities like Detroit continue to flounder while career politicians like my opponent fought for their own careers instead of their communities. I’m running for Senate in Michigan in 2020 because I truly feel the American Dream that allowed my family to thrive is at risk, and I believe that my experience as a veteran and business owner puts me in the best position to defend it. My Senate race is going to be decided by a razor-thin margin and if I can win, it will guarantee that the GOP can defend their majority in the Senate. Continuing to outraise my opponent is critical to achieving this goal — that’s why I’m asking you to support my campaign today. | | | | Paid for by John James For Senate, Inc. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use of John James’ military rank, job titles, and photographs in uniform does not imply endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense.
