Hi friend, it’s John Fetterman.

You wanna talk about why our elections are so messed up? Let’s start with the number 29… because it tells you everything you need to know.

👉 The average donation to our campaign is $29.

In order to raise all the money it takes to win this race for you + me + PA, we’ve received a mind boggling 582,000 contributions. Now, you might be thinking: ‘Why the hell would John need 582,000 $29 donations?’ Allow me to explain:

👉 A big super PAC called “Senate Leadership Fund” (name sounds really nice, huh?) has booked $29 MILLION+ in TV & radio ads to attack me + boost Dr. Oz.

This advertising onslaught against us starts in THREE DAYS. And as much as I hate to admit it, we know from experience that when super PACs beat people over the head with these stupid 30-second ads… they can drag you down in the polls.

So I’m emailing you today for something entirely predictable… $29. Because we’re behind on our mid-month goal. And, without a whole bunch of you, we aren’t going to be able to push back against this huge negative ad campaign.

So? Can I get $29 (or more or less, it really doesn’t matter) split between my campaign and Debbie Stabenow right now so we can meet our $275k mid-month deadline goal? Seriously, every dollar helps when you’re up against this kind of super PAC spending.

It shouldn’t be this way.

You shouldn’t have to be a gazillionaire like Dr. Oz to run for office.

You shouldn’t have super PACs spending $29 MILLION to sink good candidates with ridiculous (and may I add, false) 30-second ads.

But, until we get to the Senate and fight for real campaign finance reform, this is the world we live in. And the only way I know how to beat the Big Money is by energizing as many of YOU as possible to chip in $29 at a time.

We’ve got 88 days left, and the attacks are going to get worse and worse from here on out. If you can, please help us reach that $275k mid-month goal so we don’t fall behind + so we can compete toe to toe with the giant super PACs.

Me + Gisele + our whole team are so grateful to each and every one of you. It’s because of all our grassroots donors and volunteers and supporters that we have a fighting chance to go up against all that big money and WIN.
