Folks, you’ve been putting up with a lot of fundraising emails lately, so I wanted to take a break from all that and say thank you.

I have lived my entire life on my family’s farm. That explains a lot about me.

When I was a kid, I lost three fingers on my left hand grinding meat in our family’s butcher shop. I don’t even remember putting my hand there -- but I can damn sure remember pulling it out.

Here’s why I’m telling you this: just like my $12 flattop haircut from my local barbershop back home and my collection of dirt-stained t-shirts, my background a big part of the reason I remain grounded and focused amid the partisan politics and nonsense that’s happening in our government.

Because with all the chaos in Washington, you need somebody who will fight to protect our public lands, create good-paying jobs, and ensure rural communities have hospitals within driving distance in case someone gets their fingers cut off in a meat grinding accident.

I’m not a career politician and I’m pretty different from most people who end up in the U.S. Senate. I’m just a dirt farmer trying to do what’s right for the people in my state and across the country.

Because of that, I don’t have much patience for the big donors and shady super PACs a lot of folks around here rely on. Instead, I rely on grassroots folks like you.

That’s why I’m so grateful you even opened this email. Emails just like one are a big part of our fundraising. $5 here and $10 there goes a long way in a campaign like ours.

So, here’s the part where I ask: can you make a contribution of $10 today to help us meet our big FEC goal tomorrow and keep fighting for regular folks in Washington?

You don’t need ten fingers to know right from wrong and you can bet I’m going to work every single day trying to do right by working families, farmers, students, and veterans here in Montana and across the country.

I appreciate your support, and anything you pitch in today will go a long way for our grassroots campaign.

Thanks again,

— Jon
