desperately (please read)

      John, this email may be long, but it’s important to me to share 3 facts Don Bacon doesn’t want you to know -- and explain why I need to raise $10,000 before midnight. It would mean a lot if you would read this entire email -- but if you’re in a hurry, can you rush …

my heart just sank, John

      John, I just received an emergency phone call that made my heart sink. Kevin McCarthy just jetted into Nebraska -- mere days after I launched my campaign -- to pick up a massive campaign check and swiftly sabotage my chances of unseating Don Bacon. I’ll repeat that…

Don Bacon did WHAT?

      BREAKING: Don Bacon tells veterans seeking health care "DO IT ON YOUR OWN DIME" John, I am absolutely sick to my stomach. FIRST: Don Bacon voted to SLASH veterans’ health care. THEN: He just voted to BAN our brave servicemembers from accessing abortion care. NOW: H…

I’m running

      BREAKING: I’m running for Congress John, I wanted you to hear this directly from me: I just announced I’m running for Congress. Last year, I came within 5,800 votes of unseating one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country -- and now, I have an unprecedent…

I’m appalled

      I’m appalled, John. Don Bacon has proved time and time again that he is out of touch with the issues American families face every day. -- He voted AGAINST jobs for American workers -- He voted to CUT funding for our students -- He voted to SLASH benefits for our ve…

personally asking you, John

      John, I wanted to be the first to tell you: Don Bacon just announced he raised over $600,000 in just three months -- a record for our district. I’m ready to defeat Bacon and get to work fighting for our families. But John, I can’t do that if we don’t keep pace with…

John, let me explain

Don Bacon is one of the most vulnerable members of the House.       John, I can’t wait to share this with you: I’m opening my 2023 Founding Donor drive for the first time today -- and I’m giving my strongest supporters a chance to become Founding Donors first. I’ll be blu…

Thank you

      John, thank you for believing in me and supporting my vision for this district. This campaign has always been about giving a voice to working families and uniting our community. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across the aisle to help parents, seniors, and studen…

please read this, John

I need you to read this, John.       John, I know you’re getting a lot of emails. (And trust me, I don’t love asking you for money.) But with less than 24 hours until votes are officially cast, I have to ask one more time. John, can you rush in $15 before midnight to fund…

If you read nothing else, read this.       John, I’m worried. In a desperate attempt to save Republican Don Bacon’s seat, the GOP is rushing $2.3 MILLION in attack ads into Nebraska to defeat me. I hate to do this, but I’m BEGGING you John: Can you rush in $15, or whateve…

I’ve been attacked

      John, this news floored me. I learned that a right-wing Super PAC spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a brand-new false ad linking me with "predators who prey on children" -- just days before the election. It’s sickening. It’s an outrageous lie. It’s a new lo…

as of 9am

This isn’t the news I was hoping to share       John, this isn’t the news I was hoping to share, but I need you to know: $2,665,450. That’s how much Republican Don Bacon has spent against me so far -- and he’s not done yet. $975,000. That’s how much Republican PACs are r…

personally asking you

      John, I’m trying not to panic. But with only 6 more days of this election cycle to go, polling shows this race is going to be one of the CLOSEST and MOST CONSEQUENTIAL in the entire country. So right now, Republicans are directing MILLIONS to defeat me. John, I’m b…

I need your help

I need your eyes on this immediately.       Time is short, so I’ll be direct: I just got word that Don Bacon and his Republican allies are still outspending me by MILLIONS with only days left until the election. John, this race is close, and the only way I can win is to m…

Before you head out tonight...       John, it’s Halloween, so I wanted to share this horrifying -- but true -- tale: FIRST: Don Bacon compared me to Kim Jong-un for defending the rights of Nebraska women. THEN: His Republican friends launched a disgustingly false six-figu…
