Dear John,

I hope this email finds you and your family well.

Earlier this week, my opponent and I had our second debate, right here in Lincoln. It was thoughtful and spirited, and it highlighted some important differences.

For instance, our differences in showing up for work, and making hard decisions: Kate Bolz didn't vote 30% of the time in the legislature over the last two years. That’s nearly five hundred votes. For over three hundred of those, my opponent stood on the sidelines and watched others make decisions for Nebraska—on some of the most important issues for our state, like

protecting children from sexual predators;
healthcare;
and prohibiting dismemberment abortion.

Her explanation for not voting: “It’s not about punching a clock.”

You know, and I know, that governing is about showing up, working hard, and making tough decisions. It’s about your trust. And you can trust me to always be here for you. I punch the clock for you, every day, for Nebraska, and for America. That is my commitment to you.

Let’s get this job done, together. If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. We have 18 days until the election. It’s closing in fast, and we need all the support we can get.

CAN I COUNT ON YOU?

Can you consider giving $50, $100, $150, or whatever you can afford, to support my reelection?

I truly appreciate all of you who have already supported me. Your enthusiasm and energy—the yard signs you’ve put out, phone calls you’ve made, the kind words you’ve said—that keeps me going when things get tough. If you can help again, and get us over that finish line, please do.

Thank you, as always, for your friendship and your trust.

Best,
