Dear John,

I want to share some updates with you from the House of Representatives and my campaign for reelection. Here are three things you need to know:

1. This week I toured 4 local farms and met with agricultural leaders to discuss the needs of our farming communities, particularly in this time of crisis. Tomorrow I will visit even more farms in our district. I am proud to represent a district that feeds so much of America, and I am committed to prioritizing agricultural communities in Congress.

2. In Congress, the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown. This includes $8 billion in food assistance for needy families and protection for farmers and ranchers. However, this resolution would not have been necessary if Senate Republicans had passed a budget for 2021. I urge the Senate to put partisan gridlock aside and provide the bare minimum of a functioning government for the American people. 
3. Since I last reached out about the key fundraising deadline on September 30, so many of you stepped up and contributed to this campaign for the people. I am deeply grateful for that. Charonda, our finance director, has calculated that we still need to raise $5,150 in individual contributions to stay on track.

John, if you have not contributed, I would like to invite you to make a small campaign donation today. Every dollar truly does count as we approach the most impactful election of our lifetimes.

If you have already contributed or are unable to give at this time, please consider sending an email to a friend about the campaign. With only five days until the final FEC deadline, we need to reach as many people as we can.

Thank you for reading my messages and for your continued support. Please visit my website for more updates. Stay well, enjoy your weekend, and know that I am working hard for you.

Sincerely,
Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.
