Hi John – this is Michele Tafoya.
I had a great life reporting from the sidelines of some of the most memorable football games in sports history. I don’t come from the world of politics. Some folks on the far-Left say that makes me unqualified to run for politics.
I say being an outsider is an asset.
Why? Because the career politicians are the ones running this country into the ground. They oversaw unprecedented fraud, they sold us out to enrich themselves, and they pitted Americans against each other for cheap political gain – the kind of thing that drives normal people like you and me nuts.
My candidacy for U.S. Senate will take a sledgehammer to this broken system.
Unfortunately, the system is fighting back. My opponents are quintessential political elites with a vast network of mega-donors and deep connections with special interests. Like I said, they’ve been at this for a long time…
But I have three (big!) things working in my favor:
1. This is an open seat. Our sitting Senator announced her retirement, meaning there’s no incumbency advantage.
2. My opponents are racing each other to the far-Left. One of my opponents stunned voters by saying she regretted voting for the Laken Riley Act. The other is the sitting Lt. Governor, who was in power during the rampant fraud allegations. These extreme records don’t appeal to most Minnesotans.
3. No one in this race will outwork me. I made it to the very top of my industry by being willing to do what it takes to win. We’re holding events in every corner of the state, our ads are hard-hitting, and I’ve got the grit and determination to win. If we can raise the funds, this race is over.
That last point is important.
Unlike my opponents, I’m an outsider. I’m building this campaign from scratch. That means I’m wholly and completely reliant on grassroots donors to power us. I’m hoping you could help us out there.
Our fast-approaching major deadline is when we have to make important financial decisions for the entire year. If we come up short of any of our goals, we’ll be forced to pull back our ad plans and slash our voter contact budgets.
Nothing would be worse for our race.
The only way we can shock the world and flip this race is by collecting the resources we need to max out our budgets.
We crunched the numbers, and we’ll need to raise another $100,000 by the end of the month. That’s the bare minimum needed to fully fund all our campaign operations.
I’m hoping everyone reading this can pitch in at least $15 toward that goal. If you can spare it, I respectfully ask for your support before our all-important deadline. Think you can help us out?
