Indigenous Peoples' Day

  Dear John, “Columbus Day” is a difficult date for our Native American brothers and sisters, not just in Montana but across the nation. Over the past decade more than 130 American cities have renamed today Indigenous Peoples’ Day or Native American Day. In the State Legislature I proudly…

Following up on Representative Bessette’s email

  John, You received an email from my colleague and friend, Barbara Bessette, that discussed a few sensitive topics such as domestic violence and suicide. We both care deeply about these issues, and believe they should be treated for what they are - public health crises.  The failure of o…

Congress must act - legalize marijuana now

  John, In the United States our broken justice system imprisons people of color at more than five times the rate of white people.  A person of color is more likely to receive a criminal record from marijuana sale or use, solely based on the color of their skin. A criminal record, no matt…

12 HOURS LEFT

Dear John,  There are only TWELVE HOURS left until the FEC deadline. We have raised $3,845. This is an amazing accomplishment, but we still need $1,155 to reach our goal.  Show the country that Team Tom has what it takes to flip Montana blue. Donate $10 right now to propel us towards our end of qu…

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?

John, When I last wrote we were slowly moving towards our goal of $5,000 before the end of the quarter. Do you want the good news or the bad news first?   Good news: We raised $1,285. Wow. Thank you, Team Tom!   Bad news: We are only a quarter of the way there. We still have a long way to go. That’…

It’s me again, I’ll keep it brief

Hey John, It’s me again. I know, you’ve been getting a ton of these emails lately.  Let me explain one thing quickly - the more money we raise from these emails, the more time I get to spend on the road talking to voters and hearing what issues matter the most to YOU. This direct-voter contact is h…

  John, We ask for money in a lot of these emails. We know, it gets old. Let me explain why our fundraising is especially important right now: September 30th is the end of the quarter for the Federal Election Commission (FEC).  This benchmark determines the future of our campaign. Other c…

  John, Fighting for healthcare access is the beating heart of my campaign.  We’re in the middle of a crisis here in Montana. Access to healthcare is slipping away from too many Montana families - either because it is too expensive or families have to drive hours to see the nearest doctor…

It’s a matter of life or death

  John, We’ve been bringing up healthcare a lot on this campaign. This isn’t just a political talking point, it’s a matter of life or death.  Republicans promised they would repeal the Affordable Care Act if Trump and Republicans win in 2020, despite the fact that it decreased the number …

BREAKING NEWS: Dems surge in tight special election race

  John -  Montana is taking over the national spotlight. As we know, Democrats in Washington are calling our race one of 2020’s target battlefield races to flip from red to blue. This means there’s going to be a lot of outside influence and outside money. But we know that that’s not what …
