Friend,

Thank you for investing in this campaign during our end-of-month push. I'm especially grateful given what we're all facing at home, in our own lives.

My commitment to you from the beginning has been to run a campaign where everyone's invited. Usually that means physically invited -- to join me at kitchen tables, coffee shops, church basements, and parades across our district. But it's always meant more than that, and it's never been clearer than right now.

Everyone's invited means everyone's invited to show up, wherever they are, in whatever capacity they can, to build something better. We can't get together in person, but we're still showing up for each other. Virtual phonebanks and catch-ups over coffee have replaced in-person hugs at the campaign coffeehouse. Small-dollar investments online have replaced the high-dollar in-person fundraisers that, for years, kept too many elected representatives from spending time with their constituents.

What we're building is different, and it's been different from the start. We're apart, and it's hard, but we're also together -- connected in a way we've never been before.

For that I am grateful. And I know that as hard as it is right now, there is still so much joy and hope in every virtual high-five and hug, every heartfelt note, and every contribution.

Thank you for your commitment to this district, this state, and this country. I couldn't ask for better partners in building something better, together.

With gratitude,

Dean Phillips
