You have to see this, John

      John, I have news. And it isn’t good: National Republicans are deploying election denier Kari Lake to Nebraska TONIGHT to defeat me and buy Don Bacon another two years in power. John, I’ll get right to it: We MUST counter the tens of thousands of dollars that elect…

Don Bacon’s support has plummeted

      John, I need your attention. (If you’re short on time and can’t read my entire message – I get it – but it would mean so much to me if you could chip in $15 before you log off. >>) FIRST: I received a brand-new poll showing that Don Bacon’s approval rating is…

last chance

      John, I don’t like asking for money. But my very first End of Year Deadline is in just 24 hours — and I’m still $1,979 short of my goal. So I’m asking because it has never been more important: Will you chip in $15? >> https://secure.actblue.com/donate/tvargas…

I'll be blunt

      John, I need to be honest with you: I’m just 48 hours away from my End of Year Deadline — and I’m still $3,040 short of my fundraising goal. I wouldn’t ask if the stakes weren’t sky-high, John. After December 31st, we are legally required to report how much we have…

      $1. That’s the donation I’m asking you to make before my very first End of Year Deadline. Yes, John -- just $1. $1 to defeat Don Bacon and flip this seat for Democrats. $1 to stop Mike Johnson’s abortion-banning, election-denying agenda for good. $1 to outraise the…

John, I know a thing or two about tough races.       I’m proud to support Tony in his race for Congress. Will you join me in supporting him by chipping in $15 before midnight? Chip in $15 now. >> John, electing a Democrat to represent Nebraskans living …

You have to see this, John

      BREAKING: MAGA MIKE JOHNSON HOSTS $13,000-PER-TICKET FUNDRAISER FOR DON BACON John, I had to reach out as soon as I heard: Don Bacon is attending a high-dollar fundraiser — TODAY — that his MAGA ally Mike Johnson is throwing for him. I’ll repeat that: Don Bacon fe…

Don Bacon just admitted it:

      John, I’m stunned. Yesterday – hours before voting to launch Biden’s impeachment inquiry – Republican Don Bacon went on Fox and admitted he wants to impeach Biden purely for political gain. I’ll repeat that: My opponent admitted on national news that he only voted …

John, can I count on you?

      John, I wish I didn’t have to ask for your hard-earned money. But right now, I have one of the best opportunities to defeat a Republican Congressman anywhere in the country — and I need your help. I’m a former teacher, so I can’t rely on special interests to fund m…

Thank you in advance for your first $3 donation

John xxxxxx, I need your eyes on this

      John, I wanted to make sure you saw this right away: FIRST: Mike Johnson – the election denier Don Bacon voted into power – just ENDORSED Donald Trump and DEFENDED his “stolen election” claims. THEN: Top election deniers inundated Bacon with cash to buy him anoth…

More Lies on my Record

John, this is tough

It’s going to be a battle of inches       John, this is tough to write: I’m falling seriously short of my End-of-Month Goal. If I can’t raise $3,053 in 24 hours, I’ll have to make huge budget cuts to my campaign. Having to make cuts at this point in the race will be the …

Don Bacon voted

      John, I saw the news. Don Bacon voted for anti-abortion extremist and election denier Mike Johnson for Speaker. I’ll be honest: We can make this the day Don Bacon lost reelection – but Republican extremists rushed him $300,000 to cling to power. John, I hate to ala…

Don Bacon did WHAT?

      John, I’m angry. Don Bacon just signed on to an extreme petition asking the Supreme Court to BAN the abortion pill NATIONWIDE. I don’t say this lightly: Reproductive healthcare is on the ballot and this race is one of the biggest fights for abortion rights anywhere…
