Happy Halloween, John,

My wife, Monica, and I loved taking our kids out trick-or-treating on Halloween. For a holiday about ghosts and monsters, our family never felt afraid about what was lurking out there.

This Halloween, I’m terrified.

Scared of a future where Dan Sullivan is still misrepresenting Alaskans in the U.S. Senate.

Where Mitch McConnell remains Majority Leader, blocking crucial legislation on healthcare, climate change, campaign finance reform, and more.

Where our government continues to fail Alaskans.

That future is terrifying, which is why I’m running for the U.S. Senate. With your help, we can defeat Dan Sullivan and bring a prescription for change to Washington that puts people first.

But I need your help right now.

Pitch in $5 or more to help us reach our October fundraising goal. We are powered entirely by people like you -- we don’t take corporate PAC donations -- you are the fuel that keeps this campaign going strong.

I checked in with my fundraising team earlier today -- we are missing the mark by $5,245.

When Dan Sullivan is in a fundraising pinch, he can call up Mitch McConnell, Koch Industries, or other special interest groups to ask them to funnel him some more cash.

I will never do that. I am running a grassroots campaign, relying on donations from people, not special interests. I will always put Alaska and our shared values first.

Please chip in $5 or more before tonight’s deadline. We can’t miss our goal, or we will not be able to defeat Dan Sullivan.

Have a happy Halloween, John. Let’s hope that our next Halloween has less partisan tricks and more treats.

Thanks,

Dr. Al Gross
