Let me tell you something about Jon Tester

Don’t let Mitch McConnell pick the next Senator from Montana. John, you may have missed this news from Montana: Mitch McConnell’s handpicked Republican candidate just launched his campaign to unseat my friend Senator Jon Tester, flip a critical seat red, and take back the Senate. Political exper…

Add your name for ethics reform at the Supreme Court

Americans should be able to have faith in SCOTUS. John, I have made my position about Supreme Court ethics reform very clear in recent weeks as we heard revelation after revelation about undisclosed travel and gifts between Justices and wealthy donors: If Chief Justice John Roberts will not tak…

I’m asking

We’re so close to the finish line. John, our June FEC deadline is tonight at midnight and I’m reaching out with a personal request: We are only $3,218 away from meeting our $20,000 goal so we can support my colleagues, defeat the MAGA GOP, and keep the Senate blue in 2024. Can you rush in a dona…

A GOP controlled Senate?

no, thank you I’m going to be straightforward with you, John. I think we’re all very much aware of what’s at stake if we let the hyper-partisan, out-of-touch GOP take back the Senate next year… let’s just say it won’t be a pretty picture for our country. I don’t think any of us want to see the …

We need to pick up the pace. John, My finance team just showed me the numbers and I’ll be honest — our fundraising this quarter has been slower than molasses in January. While I’m not on the ballot next year, we use funds from this community to support my fellow Democrats in the Senate and throu…

Add your name to protect reproductive rights. John One year ago today, the far-right anti-abortion movement got what they had been working toward for years: the Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. But we all know that wasn’t the end of this fight. Now, with Republic…
