I love Montana. I know that will not come as a surprise to anyone who's heard me talk about our incredible public lands, the magic of the Big Sky, and the amazing community of people who make Montana home. I could go on, just ask my kids!

But the truth is that this place was a gift for me. My parents were educators, I received a great public school education (go Bengals!), and got out to enjoy our incredible outdoors at every chance I could.

I want to make sure Montana remains the last, best place.

But politicians in Washington are more interested in kowtowing to their corporate donors than sticking up for our core values. Like protecting health coverage for folks with pre-existing conditions, creating good-paying jobs, protecting our public lands, and investing in the kind of public education that got me where I am today.

So I'm running for Senate to make a difference on the issues that matter to all of us. But I need your help.

We're coming up on a big FEC fundraising deadline, and with our election only 38 days away, it's really important that we don't fall short on this one. Can you contribute to help get us there?

Your contribution will go a long way in the final days here.

The corporate donors that have captured Washington have a lot at stake — and they're spending millions of dollars on attack ads here in Montana to stop us.

I have spent a big chunk of my career taking on corporate influence and dark money, so our campaign isn't taking a dime from corporate PACs. Instead, we're counting on contributions from regular folks to win.

The future of the Senate, of Montana, and of our country is at stake in this election. We have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. But we have to win.

So if you can, please consider making a contribution to our campaign ahead of the final quarterly FEC deadline of this election. Anything you can contribute will make a difference:

Thanks for all you do,
