I’m not like most politicians, folks, and it’s not too hard to see why.
I’m the Senate’s only working farmer, and proud of it.
The truth is, I love this work. Yes, it can make for early mornings and late nights during planting and harvest seasons — but it also keeps me grounded, and it gives me perspective on the issues we face every day.
When I think about climate change, I’m thinking of folks on farms like mine, struggling with catastrophic droughts like the one we dealt with last year. When I think about reforming USPS, I’m thinking of the people in rural communities across Montana who just want their mail delivered on time. And when I think about infrastructure, I’m thinking of airports like the ones I fly through every week, and the urgent upgrades we need to make to meet folks’ needs.
These aren’t abstract issues. They’re very real challenges that deserve real solutions, and that’s what I’m fighting for in Washington. I spend every single day trying to do right by working families, farmers, students, and veterans here in Montana and across the country.
So I’m asking: Can you pitch in a few dollars to support this work? Your contributions help me keep fighting for folks like you in Washington.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
I’ll leave you with one last truth about farming: some years you do everything right but things don’t quite work out once you hit harvest. Other years, you get some luck and it goes well.
That means it’s important to be prepared for any outcome, and to have a support system by your side when things get difficult. The same is true in Washington — and that’s why I’m so grateful to folks like you for even opening this message in the first place.
I appreciate your support, and anything you’re able to pitch in. Thanks for your help, and I hope I’m making you proud.
Jon
