slap in the face

  Hello, The presidential election is over. The American people have spoken. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be our next President and Vice President of the United States. But some Republican leaders are still trying to overturn this election despite no credible evidence of voter fra…

TOMORROW: Georgia runoffs

  Folks, As one of only a handful of Democrats who won re-election in a red state in 2018, I’m often asked if I have any advice for my fellow Democrats. Well, here it is: Run through the f---ing tape. For too long, Senate Republicans have let big donors and special interests run rampa…

My New Year’s resolution

  Hello — One of my favorite things to do this time of year is reflect on the past 365 days and set new goals and resolutions to live by in the New Year. This year, I have three: Take back the U.S. Senate Undo all the damage Trump has caused Plant and harvest more spring wheat than l…

broken record

  I get it, folks, I sound like a broken record — but we have a long road ahead to undo the damage Trump has unleashed on our country. So, before I explain, I have a personal request: Will you donate $10 or anything you can to help us reach our critical end-of-year fundraising goal? W…

my full-time job outside of the Senate

  Folks, I grew up in a twenty-four-by-thirty-six foot house. I lost three fingers on my left hand in a meat grinding accident when I was younger. I am and always will be a farmer, like my folks and like my grandparents. In fact, I’m very proud to be the only U.S. Senator who manages …

This holiday season

  Hey there — As I reflect on this challenging year, I’m thinking about those who have lost their jobs and small businesses, and hardest of all, have had to say goodbye to their loved ones. To all who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, I hope you know you and your family are…

Can I explain?

  Folks, At the end of this email I will ask you to make a critical contribution to win the Georgia runoffs and flip the Senate. But first, I’d need to explain why this request is so important — especially now. Two Georgia Senate seats are heading for runoffs on January 5. Democrats n…

dirt-stained t-shirts

  Jon Tester isn’t your typical politician, folks. He wears dirt-stained t-shirts on a regular basis. He gets a $12 haircut. He still lives and works on his family farm. He first ran for office because he saw people in power prioritizing wealthy special interests over his neighbors. N…

Democrats take the lead!

  Things are heating up in Georgia, folks! As Democrats Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock head to January 5th runoffs, they’re surging into the lead against their opponents: Jon Ossoff (D): 50% David Perdue (R): 48% Reverend Raphael Warnock (D): 52% Kelly Loeffler (R): 45% Winni…

I love reading your responses

Mark Kelly was just sworn in as Arizona’s next U.S. Senator

  Folks, Mark Kelly was just sworn in as Arizona’s next U.S. Senator — weeks before the next Congress. You see, Mark ran in a special election this year. That means he’s up again in 2022 and will need to campaign back-to-back. Mark’s team spent every resource they had on winning the g…

The path to a Senate majority runs through Georgia
