Hello — Tina suggested I reach out to you directly.

In just a few moments, I am going to ask you to make a donation to my re-election campaign. I hope you'll give me a chance to explain why this request is so important, especially today.

Before I ran for Congress in 2018, I saw first-hand how much money can influence our politics. It’s wrong. It creates a sense of obligation. It diminishes the power of your voice.

Big Pharma campaign cash stalled drug price negotiations. Big Oil money rolled back environmental regulations intended to protect our water resources and curb climate change. The list goes on.

Our government is meant to represent you, the people. That’s why I’m running for re-election in 2022 — with the help of folks just like you, not the dark money groups or shadowy political players. And that’s why I remain committed to campaign finance and good government reform today.

While some lawmakers are just now beginning to recognize the power of grassroots investment, I've always relied on small-dollar donations from folks like you who want better for our country and from our leaders.

That's never mattered more than right now, so I’m asking:

Will you split a small-dollar donation between my re-election campaign and my good friend Tina Smith’s campaign today? We’re fighting to restore your power in our government — even $5 can make a meaningful difference in our work.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be automatically split between Dean Phillips and Tina Smith:

Chip in $5 now Chip in $10 now

Chip in $25 now Chip in $50 now

Chip in $100 now Another Amount

I rely on contributions from folks like you who are looking to invest in building a better democracy and a better future for all of us. That's what I'm about, and it's what I'm recommitting to right now.

Thanks for chipping in if you can.

— Dean
