as of 12pm:

      John, I hate to ask, but I’ll be fast: I’m just 24 hours away from my End of Month Deadline, and I’m still $3,504 short of my goal. This is my chance to show everyone in DC and nationwide how strong our grassroots movement is. I just crunched the numbers, and I can…

humbly asking again

      Bob Kerrey asked. My campaign manager Meg asked. And now I’m asking. John, I couldn’t wait to tell you the news: I’m just 82 more supporters from Philadelphia away from hitting my fundraising goal and sending Don Bacon an unmistakable message that his days of votin…

Trust me, John xxxxxx

I know without a doubt...       Hi John, I'm Meg: Tony's campaign manager.   Since Tony joined the race to flip NE-02, our Founding Members have been the backbone of our campaign. Helping him build this from the ground up is an uphill battle every day. And right now, Ton…

Don Bacon just voted

      John, I just saw the news. Don Bacon just 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 just rushed him $300,000 to cling to power. John,…

let me explain

      I’ll cut right to it: I need you to know 3 critical things, John. Then, I’m going to ask you to chip in $15 to defeat Don Bacon and help our Democrats retake the House. I need you to understand exactly what’s at stake so I can earn your support and finally put Nebr…

Let me tell you a story

      John, I used to be a teacher — so I like to tell stories. I hope you’ll give me a minute to tell you the story of how I grew up. But of course, if you want to just go ahead and donate $15 to help me flip Nebraska blue, I wouldn’t say no to that :) >> I was…

as of 10am:

news just broke:

      John, I need you to know three critical things: 1. Top analysts just declared Don Bacon one of the most vulnerable Republicans ANYWHERE in the country. 2. A new poll just showed his approval rating is underwater by 28 points. 3. Kevin McCarthy and other MAGA extr…

I don’t say this lightly, John

      John, I’ll cut right to the chase: I’m fighting to secure health care, defend reproductive freedom, and help keep our families and communities safe. But I can’t say the same about my opponent. While I fight night and day for families like yours and mine, Don Bac…

my heart just sank, John

The first contribution you've made to this campaign, John

Bacon REFUSES to rule out impeachment!

      John, I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Don Bacon just refused to rule out IMPEACHING President Biden and SHUTTING DOWN the government. I’ll repeat that: Bacon may claim to be a moderate — but he just stood with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin McCarthy, and the MAG…

Don Bacon will say anything

      I can hardly believe what I’m hearing, John. FIRST: Bacon voted AGAINST President Biden’s bill to bring good-paying jobs to Nebraska. BUT NOW: He’s taking credit for thousands of manufacturing jobs — the same ones he voted to kill. I’ll be straightforward with you:…
