FW: 4 days to go

> Have you joined Minnesotans from across the state in stepping up for Julie today? The response so far has been great, but we still need a lot of help to catch up to her self-funding opponent. Step up now and make sure that our Trump election lawyer opponent can’t buy this election, and let'…

4 days to go

John - We’re just four days away from our next big deadline in this campaign. The end of October marks our last chance to add to our advertising budget. With the polls tight, and so much on the line for Minnesotans and our communities, we need you to act now. Contribute today to help us reach…

less than two weeks

John - Our whole campaign comes down to the next few days. With the race tighter than anyone would like, we’ve got to step up efforts to win. I truly love fighting for Minnesotans each day. Protecting your tax dollars and your freedom to make local decisions. I’m counting on you, now, more th…

too extreme for Trump?

John - Donald Trump rolled out endorsements of GOPers Scott Jensen and Kim Crockett yesterday but didn’t weigh in on our race. We were more than a bit surprised considering Julie’s opponent calls himself a Trump Election lawyer and holds some of the most extreme views of any Republican running…

Top Story: Our race is close

John - The big story today in the Star Tribune is that our race is a lot closer than it should be. If you’ve been following our emails for the past couple weeks, this should be no surprise, but we still must respond today. Chip in now to help us keep the GOP out of state wide office in Minnes…

Deadline Tonight:

John - Our final deadline of the campaign is coming at midnight. With our opponent up slightly in the latest polls, and willing to self-fund his race, your support now is critical. We need your help to show our opponent and his GOP allies that we won’t let him buy this seat. Chip in before ou…

NEW POLL: We’re Down

BREAKING NEWS: A new poll out yesterday from Alpha News has Julie TRAILING our opponent by almost three points. Chip in now to help us fight back and win! John - We just saw the news and it’s not good. With just over two weeks left before Election Day, a new poll out today shows us traili…

help us stop this guy

John - We’ve got breaking news, and it’s not good. We just found out that Julie’s opponent is planning to go up on TV in the final week of this race. We’d love to match him, but we simply can’t keep up with his self-funding. At least, not without your help. Will you chip in today to help us…

help us stop this guy

John - Our opponent is a real piece of work. His biggest accomplishment to date is chasing an election judge last year as a Trump election lawyer. He’s not interested in using the Auditor’s Office to protect taxpayer money and help communities make good investments, he’s planning to politicize…

we can’t let up

John - There’s three weeks left until Election Day, and now is not the time to let up. Voting has already started, so we need every dollar we can to get in front of voters. I am counting on you. Will you chip in $50 or more today to help me finish strong? I love serving the people of Minneso…

10 days to go

John - We’re coming up on our final deadline before this election. It’s a big deal for us because nothing is settled yet in this race. The latest polling showed us with a very slim lead. Our last fundraising report had our opponent with a sizable cash advantage from his self-funding. We need y…

easy way to help

John - One of the things I do for Team Blaha is get receipts out for our refundable $50 donations. In Minnesota, every adult can give a contribution of $50 or more to a state level race each year and the state will refund the first $50 of the contribution. It’s how we reduce the influence of b…

This guy is dangerous

John - I’m not sure if you saw Julie’s debate on Friday night, but one thing I took away is that our opponent – Ryan Wilson – is dangerous. It's clear that he either doesn't know what the office does, or is willingly misleading voters. Given that he worked, or "volunteered," as an election law…

October 12, 2022 at 2:35 PM

Way too close!

John - I’ll start with the good news: The latest polling has us with a lead! It’s still way too close though. We’re currently only 3 points ahead of our MAGA opponent who apparently has no idea what my job even is. And 18% of voters still aren’t sure what they’re going to do when they cast the…

October 7, 2022 at 6:30 PM

huh?

John - Julie is under attack by her opponent, which is no shock in an election like ours. But what has us surprised is why he’s attacking Julie. He’s blaming her for the daycare fraud that happened way back in 2017. There’s two big problems with this: The legislative auditor, not the State A…

got a minute

John, I hope you have a minute for me today ahead of tonight’s big deadline. Over the past few weeks, all of the polls have showed my race in a dead heat. That means we need to make a stand at tonight’s deadline and show that Democrats are united to help win my race. I need you with me now! Pl…

by midnight

John - Today is deadline day for Julie’s campaign. We’ve seen polling in the last few weeks that says our race is a dead heat. With tonight’s deadline comes decision time for our outreach plans. We must reach as many voters as possible and that means having money in the bank to overwhelm the G…

I never expected to talk about this in my race

John - I never expected to need to talk about abortion in this race. My job is to safeguard billions of dollars of taxpayer’s money. This job is serious and has a serious impact on communities across our state. But my opponent is out telling far-right groups across the state that if he wins, …

September 29, 2022 at 2:29 PM

who’s the worst?

John - The GOP is running a lot of incredibly extreme candidates in Minnesota. We’ve all seen Jensen/Birk’s extreme abortion stance, we’ve heard Jim Schultz stumble through scripted responses, and Kim Crocket’s extreme-right bona fides are unassailable. But the most extreme candidate running …

Abortion ban is just the start

John - Julie’s opponent won’t stop at an abortion ban. He’s pledged to the extremist MN Family Council that in addition to banning abortion, he’ll fight to eliminate LGBTQ rights, including the right to marry the person who they love, and that he’ll bring back dangerous and harmful conversion …

FW: Abortion IS on the ballot

Abortion IS on the ballot

Hi John- The GOP keeps trying to convince us otherwise, but abortion is absolutely on the ballot this fall. You don’t have to take our word for it, just listen to our opponents. Julie’s opponent pledged, in writing, to ban abortion after six weeks (this is effectively a complete ban). Health …

This race is still a toss-up! John, we can’t afford to take a chance and let the GOP take control of a statewide office. They’re looking for any way to impose their extreme beliefs on the people of Minnesota. We can’t let this happen. That’s why we need your support now, more than ever. At ne…

can’t slow down
