here’s the truth

  Folks, We only have a few hours left until we close the books on our November fundraising deadline. All of the support we can muster by midnight will determine our strategy for the next couple of months. But here’s the truth — we need to raise another $2,538 by midnight to make the …

worried

  Hey there, folks. I’m back in Big Sandy for the holidays, tidying up around the farm and online shopping for single axle trucks in my free time. According to my team, our fundraising has slowed down quite a bit this month and they’re worried about reaching our $10,000 end-of-month g…

serious decisions

  Folks, Our end-of-month deadline is fast approaching and our numbers just aren’t keeping up. It looks like we might fall short of our target for November. If we miss this goal, Jon and our team will have to make some serious decisions about how we spend our resources for the next co…

Urgent update about Georgia

  This is urgent, folks: We're now officially going to the runoff in Georgia's Senate special election — but my opponent just UPPED her spending to $23 million of her personal fortune to defeat me, and I need your help. With recent polls showing me in the lead, Mitch McConnell is lini…

The path to a Senate majority runs through Georgia

  Hello — My U.S. Senate race against GOP Sen. David Perdue in Georgia is headed to a January 5 runoff. And if I don’t win, Mitch McConnell and the GOP will keep their Senate majority. Can you rush a split contribution to help us win the Senate majority? If you've saved your payment i…

The Senate majority hinges on a single state

  Folks, Both Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff AND Rev. Raphael Warnock are heading for runoffs after their Senate races were too close to call! What happens here will decide Senate control. Rush a split donation of $10 or more to help us turn out the vote across Georgia — and ensure …

  Hey folks! I’m so proud of this team and all the work we’ve put in to help Democrats take back our government. Now comes the hard part — fighting for the issues you care about and making meaningful progress for our communities. I first ran for office because I didn’t see anyone stic…

When I was younger, I lost three fingers on my left hand in a meat grinding accident.

  Folks, When I was younger, I lost three fingers on my left hand in a meat grinding accident. I don’t even remember putting my hand there. But I sure as heck remember rushing 12 miles to a local hospital — and then another 25 miles to a bigger hospital in Havre. For years, my left ha…

Run through the f---ing tape

I cannot support Judge Barrett's nomination.
