I just had to make a tough call, John, and if I’m being honest, it’s quite a gamble.

For context, my opponent is spending $600,000 a week on TV ads to spread lies about me and my record.

That’s why I told my team to increase our TV ad budget to make sure we’re competitive on the airwaves.

While we’re busy building the biggest tent in Iowa history, he’s forking over millions to spread fear and tell lies on TV.

I’ll explain what this means for our campaign in a second, but if you’re in a hurry, will you please chip in $25 ASAP so we’re ready to respond to all the baseless partisan attacks in real time?

Zach Lahn may be a new face around Iowa (mostly because he lives in Kansas), but his playbook is just more of the same tactics that Iowans are sick and tired of. 

Still — $600k a week is wall-to-wall coverage. There are a LOT of undecided voters who will see Lahn’s ads, which is why I can’t let his statewide TV lie-a-thon go unchecked.

I’m famously frugal — bordering on cheap — so this was a tough call, but it could mean the difference between losing and winning this election.

If we’re going to recoup the loss and continue to compete with Zach Lahn’s ad spending, I need everyone, and I mean everyone, to pitch in. If you fall into the “everyone” category, will you have my back and rush $25 today?

Thanks for sticking with me.
