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: 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 tonight at midnight.

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.

So I’m humbly asking you to make a donation right now, John. I can’t tell you how much it would mean to me if you could chip in just $15 — or anything you can spare — 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 tonight to close my budget gap, fully fund this campaign, and keep this seat for Democrats »

Thank you,
Jordan
