John, you know that in the great majority of the e-mails myself and No Dem Left Behind send out we try to give you valuable content.

I'm writing this to you now, John, asking that you contribute to No Dem Left Behind and please allow me to explain the great value in that.

A 24 year military career hammered into me a mission-focused mindset. I wouldn't ask you to gift your hard-earned money unless there was a winning strategy in place and the competency to carry it out.  I am so proud of No Dem Left Behind because we have both in spades.

I was number one out of 435 races in flipping red votes blue and in No Dem Left Behind I've found talented, like-minded folks who have the skill and the drive to take what I've done, expand upon it in unique and creative ways and implement effective strategies all across the country!

I am so excited for the future of No Dem Left Behind because we're just getting ready to launch two new ambitious programs that can truly change the game for Democrats across rural America. A ballot initiatives effort and the formation of a rural activist network.

These efforts will work to depolarize our political climate and achieve the change we've been fighting for.  No Dem Left Behind will lead with the issues, boosting Democratic candidates with parallel, non-partisan campaigns they can benefit from to carry us to Congressional victories in 2024 and beyond.

It's this forward-thinking and detail-oriented resolve that makes me so proud to be part of this organization. My service to this country didn't end when I retired from our armed forces and John, you're all about serving this country as well.

So I'm asking you to join this team. Support us with a one-time donation or a become a monthly donating member. Help fund these projects, because the value you're getting back is winning rural America for Democrats and the issues that we all care about.

And John, as a member of this team I want your input. Send me a reply and let's continue the conversation. I promise to keep you posted on my work as always.

Sappers clear the way...
Airborne all the way!
