Hi John,

I'm excited to share Country First's "Defenders of Democracy" endorsement slate -- something I've put a lot of thought into as we approach the 2022 mid-term general elections.

Let me tell you what this slate is, and what it isn't.

This slate IS as unique and politically diverse as our movement, and includes Republicans, Independents, AND Democrats.

This slate IS NOT an exhaustive list of every candidate we think is good or race we think is important. We can only focus on so many in this final stretch, so I narrowed it down to these dozen Democracy Defenders.

This slate IS weighted toward state races, particularly those in which the victor will play an important role in executing a free, fair, and lawful 2024 presidential election in battleground states.

This slate IS NOT an endorsement of any candidate's personal policy views or platform. I believe these to be reasonable people of goodwill who will defend our democracy -- and at this point in time, that matters more to me than the letter after their name.

>> So let me introduce you to our Democracy Defenders on our website.

Country First will be boldly supporting each of these candidates with a tailored investment plan that echoes the winning strategy we employed in the primaries: Fundraising, advertising, texting, grassroots activating, and getting out the vote. We're proud to do our part, and hope you'll consider investing in our slate here, too.

If you'd rather show your support with our new Country First signs, athletic wear, or signed hats, head on over to the shop, and all proceeds will go toward our important work.

Finally. stay tuned for an update from me on the 1/6 Committee after Thursday's hearing. I know you won't want to miss it.

Thank you for your support and for bringing our movement to life. Let's do this.

Country First,

Adam
