Happy Earth Day!

  Folks, Happy Earth Day! Today is the perfect opportunity to recommit ourselves to the fight to protect and preserve our planet.  I’m no stranger to the effects of the climate crisis — because of last year’s catastrophic drought and erratic weather, my farm just had its worst harvest…

Can you make your first donation?

  Hey there,  First and foremost, I want to reach out and thank you for being a supporter of my campaign. Whether you’ve volunteered your time to help defend our Senate majority, talked to friends and family about the stakes in November, or even just taken the time to read these email…

Got four quarters to spare?

  Friend,  You read that right. We’re reaching out to ask for just one dollar. If you want to cut to the chase and pitch in four quarters, you can do so here. >> The reason why we’re only asking for $1 is simple: when we report our fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Com…

McConnell just spent $141 million to defeat us

  Friend, Mitch McConnell’s super PAC just announced a major $141 million ad buy in their campaign to win back the Senate. They’re targeting races in six toss up states — and coming after three of our Democratic incumbents. Mark Kelly in Arizona, Reverend Warnock in Georgia, and Cathe…

so close

  We just ran the numbers, team — we’re so close to reaching our mid-month goal tonight that your donation could put us over the edge.  This is our last chance to bump up these numbers before we pass the halfway mark to our April monthly deadline. Please, donate anything you can befor…

Fwd: I’m here to deliver

  Hey there! Did you see the note Jon sent you yesterday? He reached out personally to announce our $5,000 mid-month goal — and since then, we’ve seen a great response!  Many of your fellow supporters pitched in $10 or $17.77 to help us hit our goal before tomorrow’s deadline. Can you…

I’m here to deliver

  Friend,  In just a moment, I’ll ask you to make a contribution to my campaign ahead of our mid-month deadline on Friday. But first, I want to talk a bit about why I’m in this fight. I’m not the kind of guy you’d expect to see in Congress. I still get $12 flattop haircuts. At home on…

Can I explain?

  Hello, In a minute, I’ll ask you to add a critical donation to my campaign to help us reach our goal before our final public filing deadline before the general election. But first, I owe you an explanation… National pundits and talking heads on TV are quick to dismiss Ohio, saying i…

Join me in congratulating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson:

  Friend, If you haven’t yet heard, allow me to be the first to tell you: The Senate just voted to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court! This is a historic moment for our country, and I want to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate this achievemen…

The bipartisan USPS reform bill was just signed into law

MAJOR news:

  Folks, I was so proud to be a part of the team that got the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law through Congress last year — but I’m even prouder of the fact that it continues to deliver meaningful change for the people of Montana. Last week, we were able to secure $101.5 million for rura…

Asking for your input

  Folks,  At the start of each month, our team sends out a priorities survey to gauge what’s at the top of our supporters' minds. Maybe you’ve filled one of these out before, maybe you haven’t — either way, it would really help us out if you could take a few moments out of your day to…

Thank You

  Folks,  THANK YOU! I know my team and I sent you quite a few messages in the last few days of the quarter — I appreciate you bearing with us. It was thanks to folks like you pitching in to those emails that we were able to meet (and exceed!) our first end-of-quarter fundraising goal…

Last chance

  Friend — We’re sure your inbox is crowded with folks concerned about their end-of-quarter deadlines. If we’re being honest, we’re guilty of it, too. Tomorrow your inbox will be emptier, and we’ll be getting our report ready to send over to the FEC. Not only will we report how much m…

the clock is ticking ⏰⏳

  Friend, Jon has always prided himself on fighting for the little guy — because he is the little guy. Before becoming a United States Senator, he was a music teacher at a local public school and is still a proud dirt farmer to this very day. Jon has never forgotten where he comes fro…

Three generations

  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 the early 1900s, my grandfather came to Montana. He came upon a piece of grassy land, took a look at it, and said “this is the …

Pacing behind

  We’re sure your inbox is crowded, folks, so we promise not to take up too much of your time.  The fact of the matter is this: We’re just 2 days away from our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline, and unfortunately, we’re still pacing behind our goal. Can you pitch in now to help us m…

FEC Deadline

  Friend, I don't want to see Mitch McConnell back in charge, and I know you don't either. But things just went from bad to worse in my race that will decide Senate control: First, polling showed me 3 points behind my opponent – a far-right extremist handpicked by Mitch McConnell who …

A responsibility I take seriously

  You may not know this, folks, but I’m the only Democratic Senator in my part of the country. And here in Montana, I’m the only statewide-elected Democrat. That’s a responsibility I take seriously. It’s an honor to fight for Montanans in Washington — but at the same time, I’m fightin…

Trump just came to Georgia

We set a rapid-response goal to raise $100,000 by midnight, and I'm asking you to chip in now.   Friend, I’m running for reelection to keep Georgia blue and deliver meaningful progress for our country – but Donald Trump just came to Georgia for the second time in six months to rally hi…

I wouldn’t bother you on a Sunday unless it was important

  Hey folks, I really hate bothering you on Sundays, but I’m reaching out today because it’s important. Our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is coming up on Thursday and my team tells me we’re not on track to hit our goal. And as the 2022 midterms inch closer and closer, meeting th…

re: SCOTUS

the GOP is ready

  Team, We say this a lot, but it’s worth repeating: If Republicans flip even one Senate seat this November, they will take back the majority.  Here’s the truth: We know they’re going to do everything they can to win. Last year alone, Senate Republicans’ campaign arm raised $104.8 mil…
