Hello,

As a retired three-star Admiral with decades of service in the U.S. Navy, I know what a weapon of war is capable of.

It’s infuriating that we still have elected officials like my Republican opponent Chuck Grassley who block gun legislation without seemingly any care for how many people will die as a result.

The bottom line is the NRA’s campaign donations stand in the way. And it is blood money, pure and simple.

I’ll never take money from the NRA. They should just assign me an “F” right now. I will wear it proudly because I am running a campaign funded by grassroots donations – not corporate PACs or special interests. But if I’m going to be successful in defeating Chuck Grassley this November, I need your help today.

We’'re about to face the biggest fundraising deadline of my campaign, and right now we’re still short of our goal. Can I count on you to give to my campaign today so we can finally do something to address the gun violence epidemic in this country?

Please, click here now and give $5 or more directly to my campaign – whatever you can afford before our deadline – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority. [[link removed]]

I’ll never be bought by the NRA or any special interest. But I need your help if we’re going to take on all their money and win this race.

Thank you for your support,
