I’m going to be honest with you, John. We are not in a position we want or need to be in as our final quarterly fundraising deadline closes in this Friday night. Democrats have figured out a way to make this race for Utah’s Senate seat competitive by supporting a fake “independent” who will, in reality, vote with them. Unfortunately, many are falling for it and he’s raising more than we anticipated through a system that otherwise supports only Democrat candidates. The Left is funding my opponent’s campaign, John. All of this makes hitting my FINAL quarterly deadline goal of this campaign extremely critical. RUSH A CONTRIBUTION » We need to show that our fundraising numbers are stronger, and we need to have the resources to ensure Evan McMullin and the Democrats come nowhere close to turning Utah blue or even purple in November. More importantly, we need to be able to win back a Republican Senate and stop Joe Biden from continuing to wreak havoc on our nation’s prosperity, security, and freedom. With our quarterly deadline approaching fast and our numbers showing we’re behind pace to hit our goal, will you rush $25, $50, $75, or even $100 or more to help me keep Utah RED and flip the Senate?

Mike learned his love for the Constitution around the family dinner table.
