John,

The last three months have really flown by — it feels like I only announced my candidacy a couple weeks ago!

I never could have expected what the response would have been, but I've been overwhelmed by how many people feel like we do, John. We’ve heard from thousands of Americans from every corner of this country, ready to make their voices heard and step up to reclaim our democracy. 

You were one of those brave patriots to stand with us and and say enough — enough of the lies, enough of the drama, enough of the destructiveness.

Without your support, this campaign would never have lasted. But today, we're building momentum, growing support, and building the infrastructure to win by getting on primary ballots in early states, building our grassroots army, and making our presence known in Iowa and New Hampshire. 

We're here today because of you, John — and that's why I'm reaching out to you as we close out the year. 

Your support powered this campaign and as we approach Iowa and New Hampshire, I'm asking you to double-down and help us end this year as strong as ever.

Trump and his kowtowing group of political hacks have worked day and night to keep from facing us — they've cancelled primaries, intimidated donors, and used every other trick they can think of. 

But we've fought them back, and it's clear that they are completely terrified of what we can do together. They know how vulnerable they are and they've gone to the most desperate lengths to insulate themselves. 

We still have a long road ahead of us, but I know that we have what it takes to win, because of folks like you who have stepped up to fight alongside us. 

Double-down on your support, John, and let's go into 2020 ready to take our democracy back!

Every donation — no matter how large or small — will send a message that we're still here and we're stronger than ever. And it will take us into 2020 with the wind in our sails. 

Thank you for everything you’ve already done for this movement, and for taking a stand — and as always, thank you for Being Brave!

—Joe
