John, I want to be transparent:

I’m not a politician. I had no intention of running for Congress.

But when I heard Paul LePage was running in my home district — after falsely claiming “Black people come up the highway and kill Mainers” and even saying that “half the time, they impregnate a young white girl before they leave” — I realized getting off the sidelines was no longer a choice, but a necessity.

Hear me when I say this, John: I refuse to let Paul LePage flip this pivotal seat to Republicans and hand them control of the House for two more years. But I can’t let him outraise me before my midnight deadline.

Unlike my opponent, I don’t have a personal rolodex brimming with corporate donors to flood my campaign with unlimited resources.

I wish I didn’t have to ask, but the reality is this: to level the playing field against LePage’s massive piles of special interest money, I’m relying on grassroots supporters like you, John.

I can’t thank you enough for all the support you’ve given me so far, John. I wouldn’t ask again if it wasn’t critical. Will you chip in $10 before midnight to help me compete with LePage’s billionaire donors and hand him the humiliating defeat he so desperately deserves? I need 246 gifts before midnight to close my budget gap, fully fund this campaign, and keep this seat for Democrats »

Thank you,
Jordan
