asking for $5 to buy stamps

Please understand, John;       I’ll be quick: The latest poll just showed I’m leading by three points — and now: …National news outlets named Don Bacon one of the most vulnerable Congressmen. …GOP billionaires rushed him $4 MILLION. …Pete Ricketts is spending $700k to boo…

      John, I’m reaching out with some exciting news — our field operation is growing! We need to make sure we get my message out to every single voter in Nebraska’s second congressional district if I’m going to win this race and kick Don Bacon out for good. And that’s w…

1 more gift from Philadelphia

      John, I can’t wait to share with you: I only need 1 gift from Philadelphia before midnight to hit my fundraising goal before my FINAL pre-primary deadline at midnight. I'm so humbled by the support you've offered me. I promise to fight for you and your family every…

asking one more time

      John, I know I’ve been filling up your inbox, but we’re just two weeks away from the primary. I told you this race is the closest in the entire country. I told you that I’m being targeted by Don Bacon who has millions to unload on me. I told you how important this …

leveling with you, John

      My wife emailed. My mom emailed.  And now I’m emailing again. That’s how important my End of Month Deadline is. John, I need to level with you: This is my most important deadline yet. I’ll explain why in a moment, but if you want to cut to the chase, please chip in…

I don’t like asking this, John

      I’ll be honest, John. I wish money wasn’t so crucial to the success or failure of this campaign. But I just set my most ambitious End of Month fundraising goal ever: 7,500 grassroots gifts in the next 24 hours. I want to explain why this End of Month Deadline in 24…

a desperate attempt;

      You can quote me on this, John: Nebraskans can’t be bought. But Republican Super PACs funded by Pete Ricketts and other billionaires have already spent over $1 MILLION to buy this seat for Don Bacon. John, your contribution fuels the work my team and I do to reach …
