Hello,

The January 6th insurrection and the GOP’s feckless decision to stand by Donald J. Trump is proof enough: There is a Cold War raging for the future of our democracy, and ‘General’ McConnell and ‘Lieutenant’ Grassley are fighting for the wrong side. 

I served our country for nearly 4 decades in the U.S. Navy. I swore an oath to defend our Constitution against all threats – foreign and domestic. I’m now running for Senate against Chuck Grassley because I can’t think of anything more un-American than gleefully accepting the endorsement of a deranged man who tried to overthrow 232 years of peaceful transfer of power. It’s time to call it what it was: treason. 

The polls show I can win. The pundits say we must win if we’re going to expand our Democratic Senate majority. But Grassley has already started slinging mud at me on TV and even attacking my military service, and I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money, so I need your help.

We need to raise another $50,000 before our fundraising deadline at midnight to fight back, but right now we’re still $12,645 short. If I’m going to send Chuck Grassley packing and turn Iowa blue, I’m counting on grassroots donors like you to give every dollar you can afford right now: 

Please, will you split a donation of $25 or more right now between my campaign and American Bridge PAC – whatever you can spare before our critical deadline – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate?

When I defeat Chuck Grassley this November, I’ll be the most senior military person ever-elected to the U.S. Senate. You can be sure I’ll always fight to protect our democracy. 

I am so grateful for your support, 

Mike Franken, U.S. Navy (ret.)
