Mitch McConnell’s cash

  Folks, with less than two months until Election Day, I have a personal request: Will you chip in $10 right now to help us flip the Senate? I’ll explain more in a bit. Democrats only need to flip four seats to win back the Senate majority and I think we’ve got a pretty good shot at d…

What’s on your mind?

  Hey there, I’ve been back in Montana, meeting with folks across the state and cleaning up some equipment on the farm. While I’m meeting with folks at home, I want to make sure I hear from you too. I first ran for office to make sure our government worked for regular folks, not the b…

We will miss this goal

  Ugh — According to our calculations, unless we see a surge of grassroots donations in the next few hours, we will miss our critical end-of-month goal tomorrow. So, we’re launching a 24-hour emergency fundraising drive to make up this gap. Democrats have what it takes to end Mitch Mc…

my story

  Folks, I want to tell you a little story about me: I grew up on my family’s farm and it’s still home today. That explains a lot about me. When I was a kid, I lost three fingers on my left hand while working in our family’s butcher shop. I don’t even remember putting my hand there — …

We have to move quickly

  Folks, Here’s the deal: Our important end-of-month fundraising deadline ends in just two days. Right now, it looks like we’re going to miss it. Why that matters: If we fall short, we’ll be off track for the rest of the quarter. With Mitch McConnell and his ilk spending millions to d…

We can take back the Senate.

  Folks, I’ve got three things I need you to know: We have to take back the Senate this year. For too long, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans have held our government hostage — letting good bills die because it didn’t please their wealthy friends. I believe we can flip enough s…

Friday evening is just about the worst time to send a fundraising email

  Hey there, Friday evening is just about the worst time to send a fundraising email. Most people have logged off by now and are spending time with friends and family (as they should!). But, unfortunately this can’t wait. My finance team just let me know we’re off track to reach our e…

  FACT: Jon is one of only two Democrats to win re-election in a state Trump won. FACT: In 2018, this incredible grassroots team stepped up to beat the odds and overcame mountains of outside spending and right-wing attacks. FACT: This time around, Democrats will need our help to fight…

Asking for Jon

  Hey folks, Jon has been back in Montana, taking care of some late summer work on the farm. We’re sending him an update on our fundraising numbers soon, but right now, it looks like we’re tracking behind where we usually are at this point in the month. So, we’re reaching out to you n…

How about it?

  Folks, I know you probably have lots of emails in your inbox, so I’ll keep this short. In four days, we’ll close the books on our August fundraising. Then, my team and I will take a hard look at our budget to see where we stand before the final stretch to Election Day. Right now, we…

bad news

  Here’s the deal, folks: We have just a few days to go before our important August fundraising deadline. Bad news is, it looks like we’re not on track to reach our goal before the month ends. So, we’ve gotta ask: Can you pitch in today? Anything you’re able to contribute will help us…

Steve

  Folks, Governor Steve Bullock needs our help to win one of the most competitive races this cycle and flip Montana’s SECOND Senate seat blue. Here’s the truth — Washington Republicans know that if Steve wins in Montana, they can kiss their Senate majority goodbye. That’s why Mitch Mc…

Not a typo!

  Folks — we’re asking you to chip in just $6 today. Nope, that’s not a typo. Here’s why: There are SIX battleground Senate races — Maine, Georgia, Colorado, North Carolina, Iowa, and yes, Montana — that have been ranked as toss-ups. They’re our best shot at flipping the four seats we…

Can you fill this out sometime today?

  Folks — I’ve been home in Montana working on the farm a bunch these last few weeks. The weather for harvest was good and we are getting equipment put away. While here, I’m meeting with Montanas across the state to talk about the issues they’re facing and what they want me focusing o…

a bit of a situation

  Here’s the situation → Our end-of-month deadline ends in just a few days. Then, we’ll make some critical decisions about our budget in these final months before Election Day. Now, the problem → Our donations have slowed down and we’re pacing behind our goal. If we want to build the …

my friend, Kathleen Williams

  Folks, Kathleen Williams is running to flip Montana’s lone Congressional seat and bring Montana values to the U.S. House. For too long, Montanans haven’t had a voice in the U.S. House fighting for working families. I know she will stand up for us every day. Will you split a donation…

Nailing jello to a tree

  Shhh — it’s a surprise, folks: Today is Jon’s birthday! Jon is anything but a typical politician. He still gets a $12 flattop haircut, has only seven fingers, and brings his own Montana beef to the U.S. Senate. (That’s why we all love him so much!) Everyday Jon works hard in the Sen…

4 people from Washington

  Folks — August is a notoriously tough time for fundraising and we’ve fallen behind our mid-month goal. So to keep pace with our target, we need to raise $5,000 a day. According to our calculations if just 4 people from Washington chipped in a donation before midnight, we’d reach our…

FWD: We have to protect the United States Postal Service

We have to protect the United States Postal Service

  You might not know this about me, folks — but I live on a farm in rural Montana far, far away from the D.C. swamp. Even so, the mail has always made its way to my dirt farm — rain, sleet, or snow. Just like me, Montanans across the state rely on the postal service for their medicati…
