John xxxxxx,

I am going to keep this brief, but I wanted to take a moment today to send a very simple message: Thank you.

Last night, the books officially closed on our critical Q2 fundraising deadline. I am proud to report that because of this incredible grassroots army, we hit our goal.

Whether you joined this Independent movement twelve months ago when we first started, or if you chipped in your very first dollar just yesterday before the midnight deadline, I am incredibly grateful to have you on this team.

Running for the U.S. Senate as an Independent is not an easy path.

But when Mike Rounds and his billionaire allies dumped over $500,000 into panic-buy television ads this month to drown us out, you stepped up. You provided the resources we need to stay on the airwaves, keep the truck fueled up, and ensure our message continues to reach voters across South Dakota.

We have incredible momentum right now. The pundits are calling this the sleeper race of the cycle, and our polling shows we can legitimately win. Thanks to your support, we are fully prepared to take on the next challenge and defeat Mike Rounds this November.

Take a moment to celebrate this victory today. Tomorrow, we get back to work.

Thank you for standing with me.

Brian Bengs
Lt Col, USAF JAG Corps (Ret.)
Independent Candidate for U.S. Senate

P.S. Even though the Q2 deadline is behind us, our mission continues. Mike Rounds is going to keep spending his corporate PAC money every single day between now and the election.
