Hi there John, it's Trudy's campaign manager, Alex. Did you see this message from Trudy yesterday?

While I admire Trudy’s dedication to her manners and kindness, I need to say some less-than-kind things about Eric Schmitt, so you know exactly who we are up against.

You see, Eric Schmitt has no problem choosing himself over the people he swore to serve.

➡️ He sold out Missouri farmers to foreign companies when it benefited him (evidently it is worth it for the Christmas ham they send him every year).

➡️ He proudly made Missouri the first state in the country to effectively ban abortions without exceptions for rape or incest after Roe v. Wade was overturned. 

➡️ And he has taken thousands in gifts from lobbyists and turned his back on folks who depend on prescription drugs.

Listen, I’m a born-and-raised Missourian. I love this state and know what we can be, but I am deeply worried about what will happen this fall. I have seen Eric Schmitt rise through the ranks of our state. Now, he's trying to take his extreme ideologies and corporate lobbyists to Washington – and we have got to stop him.

If Eric Schmitt gets to the Senate, you can count on him to do Mitch McConnell's bidding and choose party over people every time. That's why I'm counting on you to rush a $5 donation right now so that we have the grassroots resources to defeat Schmitt and his megadonors, send Trudy to the Senate, and bring real kindness to Washington. Will you stand with us today?

John,

"Be kind and have good manners."

I can't count the times I repeated this mantra to my children – before family gatherings, on the first day of school, at the dinner table. Above everything else, I made sure that my kids were raised with compassionate hearts and respect for others.

But frankly, it seems like far too many of the folks running things in Washington lack both. People are pushing their far-right, out-of-touch ideologies instead of actually helping families. They're picking partisan fights instead of putting their heads down and doing the work. And if my opponent, Eric Schmitt, gets to Washington, he'll be just another extremist with no manners and no kindness.

I promise you, John, that I will be different. If there is one thing that sets our campaign apart from others, it's our commitment to hope, kindness, and integrity. And I am proud that every member of my team exemplifies these values each day.

Even on long days on RV trips all over Missouri, we make sure to listen to every voter with the same sincerity and focus; we make time to hear their stories; we ask them to share their concerns; and we invite them to be a part of the solutions. Whether you've cast your ballot for red or blue in the past, you have a place in our state and in our movement.

As senator, I will treat everyone – my colleagues, my constituents, and every person who comes through my office doors – with the manners and compassion that my parents taught me, and which I passed on to my own kids. I will always lead with kindness, respect, and a listening ear.

But in order to get there and bring this commitment to Washington, I need your help. Please, can I count on you to make a donation to help me flip this seat blue and bring kindness and respect to Washington? We'll only win if people like you join our campaign to build a truly grassroots movement.

Thank you so much for all that you do.
