Running out of time

  Tonight at midnight marks our end-of-month fundraising deadline, and folks — we’re running out of time to reach our goal. Can you chip in right now to help us make up ground? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: …

$3

  Folks, We’re reaching out to ask if you can chip in just $3 before our end-of-month deadline expires tomorrow night. Here’s why: Cook Political Report is now rating THREE Democratic-held Senate races as toss-ups — in Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. If we’re going to defend our fragile…

Sunday

  We don’t normally reach out on Sundays, folks, but we could really use your help today. Our end-of-month deadline is rapidly approaching, and to be honest, we’re behind on our fundraising goal. To catch up, our team has set a goal of raising an additional $2,500 before the weekend c…

People often ask me

  Folks, We’re coming up on our end-of-month deadline, and in just a minute, I’m going to ask if you can chip in to our campaign. But first, I wanted to explain why your support is so important, especially right now. You see, I’m the lone Democratic Senator in my part of the country. …

No days off

  Folks, I’m headed out the door this morning to hold a listening session a couple hours from the farm. But before I hit the road, my team told me we are coming up short on our November fundraising goal and asked if I could reach out. With the midterms coming up, we can’t afford to ta…

The Washington Post reports:

  Team, This is not ideal. The Washington Post is reporting that “the national environment could hardly look more favorable to Republicans one year before the midterm elections.” With so many key seats on the line in toss-up states like Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona — we can’t afford t…

What I’ve been up to

  Folks, As we get ready for Thanksgiving, I want to give you some updates about what I'm up to this week. I am traveling around the state to meet face to face with Montanans to hear what is on their mind. These trips are important to me as I gather input and fight for working familie…

40+ years on the farm

  Hi folks, My family farm means everything to me — it’s a big part of who I am, and it’s why I’m proud to be in the Senate fighting for Montana’s values. In 1910, my grandfather came to Montana. He came upon a piece of grassy land, took a look at it, and said “This is the place.” And…

Curious about your opinion

  Folks, I’m so proud that the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was finally signed into law this week. It’s a bill I worked hard on alongside my colleagues in the Senate, and I’m excited to see the positive impacts it is going to have in Montana and across the country…

A quick explanation

  Folks, In just a moment, I’m going to ask for a contribution before our mid-month fundraising deadline tonight. But first, I want to tell you my story — so take a seat and settle in. I grew up on my family’s farm and it’s still home today. When I was a kid, I lost three fingers on m…

The bipartisan infrastructure bill was just signed into law

  Friend, President Biden just signed the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. This is great news, and I’m proud to have led bipartisan negotiations on this bill in the Senate with a group of my colleagues. I couldn’t be more thrilled about the once-in-a-century…

Finding hope

  Hi folks, Jon here — just wanted to send you a quick note before you head out for the weekend. After last week’s wake-up call in Virginia, my team and I are doing everything we can to hit our fundraising goals so we can defend crucial Senate seats in 2022 — think states like New Ham…

We can turn this around.

  Friend, Last week's election in Virginia didn't turn out the way we wanted it to, and to be honest, it's a clear sign that we have work to do. As hard as it was to swallow, the results were unmistakably clear — to the point that the veteran Cook Political Report elections analyst Da…

Historic

  Great news, friend. Over the weekend, the House passed our historic infrastructure package. I’m proud to have led bipartisan negotiations on this bill in the Senate with a group of my colleagues, and look forward to seeing it signed into law. And I’m excited to see these once-in-a-c…

No “off years”

  Hey friend,  You may have heard our team’s been having a slowdown on the fundraising front over the last few weeks. It’s not necessarily a reason to panic — we’ve been working hard to help raise for other Democrats around the country, all during an “off year.” But the truth is there…

What do you want to see from Jon?

  Hey folks, Jon’s back in Washington after another productive trip through Montana. He’s been busy talking to folks across the state and working on bringing local Montanans’ concerns and priorities back to the halls of Congress. But of course, Jon’s only one guy and can’t be in every…

What Virginia means for our Senate majority

  Friend — By now, you’ve probably heard the news coming out of Virginia. Democrats were handed several tough losses including the Governor’s race. And, at the time we’re writing this, Republicans seem poised to take back the House of Delegates.  It’s not the result we wanted to see a…

We got very close

  Friend, Thank you so much for all your help this past weekend as my team and I worked on hitting our end-of-month goal! We were able to close a sizable gap in our online fundraising in October after seeing a slowdown, and we came very close to hitting our goal — which is incredible …

My dirty t-shirts

I don't rely on big donors or shady super PACs

  Hey folks, I know you get a fair amount of emails asking for donations from my team and me. I wish we didn’t have to ask — but unfortunately, it’s the reality of our broken campaign finance system. I refuse to rely on big donors or shady super PACs to fund my campaign, so I really c…

We’ll be transparent

What I’ve been up to

  Hey team, how’ve you been? I wanted to give you a quick update of what I’ve been up to this month. During the Senate recess, I got to do two of my favorite things: spend some time on the farm, and travel the state talking to folks like you. I got the chance to speak with family farm…

The Freedom to Vote Act
