We’ll make this quick

  Folks,  We know inboxes tend to get crowded around end-of-quarter deadlines, so we’ll get straight to the point: We’re asking you to chip in $10 to help us hit our goal before Thursday at midnight. >> We’ll be blunt: Mitch McConnell said if Republicans take back the Senate the…

Monica’s put in the work

I’ve known Monica for years and seen firsthand how much she cares about Montana   I know how much commitment it takes to represent our great state and fight for working families. And right now, we have a great opportunity to elect another fighter to Congress who’s ready and willing to …

JD Vance called overturning Roe a “victory”

  Hello— The Supreme Court just officially overturned Roe v. Wade. Even worse? My Republican opponent, JD Vance has called this a “victory” and even claims pregnancy from rape is merely “inconvenient.”  Ohio will decide Senate control. The only way forward is to win this race and expa…

Our upcoming end-of-quarter deadline

  Folks,  At the end of this week, we'll close the books on another quarter over here at Tester HQ. That means whatever we’ve raised this quarter — and whether or not we hit our fundraising goal — will all become public knowledge. Let me explain: Every three months, candidates for fed…

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade

  Team, The stakes of this election have never been higher.  A woman’s right to make her own decisions about her body is fundamental to everything else. But that right is under attack across the country.  Right now, the single most important thing we can do to protect access to abort…

Heartbroken

  Friend,  The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade, ripping away every woman’s right to make her own health care decisions and putting far-right politicians in control of our bodies. I’m heartbroken, I’m furious, and I’m personally counting on you to help fight back now!   Let m…

The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade

  Folks,  Today is the day we’ve been dreading ever since a draft opinion was leaked last month: The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that enshrined women’s rights to make their own healthcare decisions nearly 50 years ago.  By reversing this decision, t…

Can you make your first donation?

I need your help

  Friend,  My bipartisan agriculture consolidation bills just passed out of committee — and now I need your help to ensure they get a fair shake in the full Senate. It’s beyond time that the Senate steps up to protect small ranchers across rural America. My bills support family ranche…

The pressure’s on

  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.  And after the first several hearings on January 6th, we know they’re going to do everything they can to win. Last year alone, Senate Republic…

Get some luck

  I’m not like most politicians, folks, and it’s not too hard to see why. I’m the Senate’s only working farmer, and proud of it. The truth is, I love this work. Yes, it can make for early mornings and late nights during planting and harvest seasons — but it also keeps me grounded, and…

My Bipartisan Toxic Exposure Bill just passed

  Great news, friend! We just secured another historic win for our veterans by passing the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022 — a first-of-its-kind bill that will provide health care and disability benefits to any veterans who are sick as a result of the…

  Hey there — I’ll make this quick. There are just a few hours left before our mid-month goal expires at midnight, and we are so close to hitting our goal.  We need to raise just over a thousand bucks before midnight tonight and my team asked me to send this email as our last-ditch ef…

Can we count on you to play your part?

  We’re poring over the numbers, folks, and there’s only one way to put this: It looks like we’re going to come up short on our mid-month fundraising deadline.  In order to turn things around, we need to raise another $3,000 before the clock strikes midnight. It may sound like a lot, …

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 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 …

  Team, here are three things you need to know before our mid-month fundraising deadline expires on Wednesday: We set an important goal to raise $10,000 by June 15th. Right now, we’re only 80% of the way there. Fundraising has been particularly slow this year. Fewer people are openin…

$12 haircuts

We’re behind

  Team — Jon has been busy fighting to defend reproductive rights, do right by our veterans, and lower costs for working families, so we haven’t had lots of time to focus on fundraising.  That means we’re falling behind on our June fundraising goal — and it’s not the end of the world …

Jon needs your help to pass his bipartisan bills

Their ads were just pulled off the air

I’m not the kind of guy you’d expect to see in Congress

How to sustain this work
