Sorry

  Sorry to bother you again, but this is the last time. A recent poll shows Tina Smith within single digits in Minnesota’s Senate race, and another poll shows Donald Trump in the margin of error, which means we urgently need your help. The closing months of this election will go by fa…

You won’t believe what I just found out

  Donald Trump has shifted money away from Michigan and into states like Minnesota. This comes right after we found out his campaign is spending $14.1 million here and just days after we missed a major fundraising goal. The truth is, I knew Trump was trying to win Minnesota — I just d…

What the polls are saying

  If you can spare a minute, I need to explain something. Right-wing groups with ties to Mitch McConnell are unleashing multi-million dollar ad buys to defend GOP-held Senate seats. They’re showing no signs of slowing down. If anything, they’re ramping up. That’s not how we do things …

Tweet sent by Jason Lewis

  Ugh, the Trump campaign is hammering our state with millions of dollars, the polls are tightening, and Mitch McConnell is deciding where to unleash his network of dark money donors next. Now, Tina’s opponent is tweeting about the new poll in our race: Yep, you read that right — our…

BREAKING: Poll shows Minnesota’s Senate race down to single digits

  I didn’t want to message you so soon again but this is an urgent situation — A new poll from Public Policy Polling released just this morning shows Minnesota’s Senate race has narrowed to single digits. This confirms what I’ve been telling you for months: The GOP’s plan to flip Minn…

My campaign manager

  I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to write you a quick note. I hope you can spare a few seconds, too. My campaign manager just called me to check in before we close the books on our end-of-month goal at midnight. It’s important for me to let you know that he told me we are be…

The scary part

  Hello — In just a moment, I will ask you to add a donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate before our end-of-month deadline expires. Please give me a quick moment to explain why this request is so important, especially today. As you know, Ivanka Trump was in Minnesota this week. Then…

No one took this seriously

  Take a look at this alarming headline — NPR: “Trump Hopes To Turn Blue State Minnesota To Red” No one — the press, election forecasters, no one! — took this seriously. But then, Trump dumped MILLIONS of dollars into Minnesota to flip our state red, Pence tweeted about our opponent, …

Donald Trump just threatened to delay the November election

  Let's be clear: Donald Trump does not have the power to cancel or postpone the November election. But moments ago, he threatened to delay the election to millions of his Twitter followers. This corrupt president has spent enough time spewing nonsense. It’s time we vote him out come…

I don’t have a lot of patience

  I’m not like most politicians. I’m just a converse-wearing, donut-eating U.S. Senator who carries around pictures of her new grandbaby everywhere she goes. But that’s not what sets me apart. What really does the trick is that I didn’t choose public office for the fame, money, or pow…

Jason Lewis

Re: Pence tweet

Trump's deep well of cash

Bad news

What you don’t know
