Hey, it’s Chris Jones again! 

I wanted to make sure you saw my note below. I’m so excited about the recent launch of Vortex PAC to flip four GOP congressional seats in Arkansas. But before our team is really able to dig into that work, we need to clear our remaining campaign debt.

We’ve made a significant dent in our debt since we last spoke, but we’ve still got more to go. So I’m reaching out one more time — but with a special addition: If you make a donation to this email, we’ll send you an exclusive invitation to join me and DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison on a Zoom call!

You won’t want to miss this conversation. We’ll take some time to thank you and discuss the path forward for Democrats in Arkansas.

Thank you! Let’s do this. 

Chris Jones

P.S. — Jaime and I are excited to see you!

Hi there, it’s Chris Jones. It’s been a while since we last talked, but I wanted to reach out today to reflect on what we were able to accomplish, what I’ve been up to, and what comes next.

When we launched our campaign for governor of Arkansas almost two years ago, we had no idea how much this movement would grow. With voters across all 75 counties of Arkansas and grassroots donors across all 50 states, Team Jones offered folks the chance to believe in a brighter future for Arkansas. It was a vision focused on unity and inclusion — not extremist policies meant to spread division and hate like we’ve seen under our new governor in recent months, with attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, access to education, reproductive rights, and more. 

With all this in mind, I’ve been reflecting on how our campaign ended and the many lessons I’ve carried with me. So today, I’m excited to share a little about what I’ve been up to since then.

I officially launched Vortex PAC (bonus points if you got the bumblebee reference!), an all-new grassroots movement that will build organizing power and support Democratic candidates for public office across our great state. Our first objective is to replace all four of Arkansas’ Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

I’ll tell you more about why Vortex PAC’s mission is so important right now. 

Arkansans are tired of feeling hopeless about the political process. They’re tired of feeling discouraged by corrupt, self-interested politicians who don’t address the real problems they’re facing (I’m looking at a certain governor). Far-right politicians in Arkansas are relying on illegal gerrymandering and voter suppression to keep themselves in power — and right now, it’s working out for them.

Vortex PAC is ready to create a sustainable infrastructure for political change in Arkansas to tackle this issue head-on. We know that the best way we can fight back is by recruiting and training Democratic talent that will send these politicians packing. But before we can really get to work, we need your help to close out our last campaign. 

We took on some additional costs to be able to have a fighting chance against the GOP establishment, and that means we're still in some debt right now. As we look to make progress in Arkansas with Vortex PAC, I’m counting on you to chip in and help reduce our campaign debt. Please make a donation of any amount today.

Thank you so much,

Chris Jones
