Folks, I have an exciting announcement and I want you to be the first to know: I’m officially running for reelection here in Montana.
I know this race won’t be easy, but my fight for working families isn’t done yet.

I’m not like most of my colleagues, and it’s not too hard to spot the differences. I’m the only working dirt farmer in the U.S. Senate, and damn proud of it. My wife Sharla and I still work the very same land my grandparents farmed more than 100 years ago.
They didn’t know the meaning of the word “quit.” And neither do I. Our work in the Senate is not done. That’s why I’m running.
It won’t be easy. Mitch McConnell and his allies see me as a top target in their fight to take back the Senate — they’re already running ads attacking me. I’m the most vulnerable Senator running for reelection right now, and experts are rating my race as a toss-up. But I know how to win tough fights. I’ve done it before as one of the only Democrats in a red state to win in 2018 — and I’ll do it again.

I first ran for office because I didn’t see anyone sticking up for dirt farmers like me. In the years since, I’ve demanded that Washington work for the people, fought to get veterans the health care they’ve earned, and ensured Montanans have someone defending our values in the United States Senate.
And that’s exactly what I’ll continue to do when I’m reelected.
It’s been the honor of my life to represent Montana families in the United States Senate. I’m fired up and excited for the road ahead, and I’m grateful to have you by my side through it all.
Thanks,
Jon
