What if?

  Hey there, I wanted to personally reach out before the weekend and ask if you’d make a donation toward our mid-month fundraising push. Can you chip in here? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Chip i…

yikes

  Here’s the deal, folks — March is a notoriously tough time for fundraising. And considering our very first FEC deadline of 2021 is at the end of the month, that’s not great. We set a mid-month goal to raise $7,500 by next Tuesday to keep us on track for the quarter. But we’re still …

Republicans have already started their mudslinging

  Hello, Under Catherine Cortez Masto’s leadership as the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democrats narrowly flipped the Senate and secured a 50-50 majority. But here’s the bottom line: If Republicans flip even just one seat in 2022, Mitch McConnell will retake …

re: Equality Act

  Hello, Since I was sworn in as Senator, I’ve fought tooth and nail to make progress on important issues like increasing access to quality health care and expanding environmental protections, but something I’m really proud of is being an original co-sponsor of the Equality Act. The h…

No service

  Hey folks. Jon’s fundraising team here. You see, Jon’s been hard to get a hold of this month. When he’s not in Washington working on more COVID relief or receiving new committee assignments, he’s on his farm in Montana — without cell service. He could be shoveling snow or working on…

I just need a moment

  Hey folks. I’ll be honest, I’m reaching out about our end-of-month fundraising deadline. All I need is just a moment of your time to explain why this is so important. Look, I’m not your typical politician. I’m a dirt farmer from Montana. I get a $12 flattop haircut. I butcher my own…

How’re you doing?

  How’re you doing, folks? I’m back in Montana this week — yesterday Sharla and I took a trip to Great Falls to get some things for the farm before the weekend hits. Now I’m back in Big Sandy, tidying up around the farm, and holding some meetings by phone. Usually I’d spend the entire…

Re: Spotlight Act

  There’s a lot of shady money in politics, folks. No question about it. Under current legislation, mega-donors can spend millions of dollars bankrolling political ads and candidates — and then sell us half truths about who they are and why they are doing it. Well, I’ve had enough of …

FWD: I just voted to convict Donald Trump

I just voted to convict Donald Trump

  Hello, As a U.S. Senator, I took an oath to uphold the Constitution, defend our democracy, and ensure no one is above the law. This is an oath I take very seriously. Last month, pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to keep members of Congress from certifying the r…

  Folks, you all know how much I love my family farm. But with temperatures dipping way below zero in Montana, I’m happy to be up and moving. I’m looking forward to returning to Montana next week and getting some work done on the farm with Sharla — hopefully I’ll bring some warmer wea…

  It’s been a long week in the Senate, folks — last night Jon was on the Senate floor past 7:30 p.m. and then went straight to the office to prepare for today's impeachment proceedings. As you can imagine, he’s spending all of his time on the impeachment trial and doesn’t have time to…

There’s a light at the end of this tunnel

  Hey folks — This time last year, no one expected COVID-19 to change our lives the way it has. And now eleven months later, the pandemic has pushed us to the brink as cases continue to rise and new strains develop. Look, I’m on the same page — I’m over this pandemic. I would love to …

Mitch McConnell is trying to ignore the election results
