Reaching out on behalf of my personal friend

  Folks, At the end of this email, I will ask you to make a critical contribution to win the Georgia runoff election and expand our Senate majority. But first, I’d need to explain why this request is so important — especially now. The Georgia Senate runoff election is just one week fr…

Hate to bother you

  Hey folks,  I just got off the phone with my team and I’ll be honest — it isn’t pretty. We’re just days away from our end-of-month deadline, and our fundraising has really slowed down this month.  Look, I get it. Folks are tired of politics and logging off to enjoy their holiday wit…

Fighting for the little guy

  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. …

We’ve been busy

  Team — November has been quite the month. Between the busy election season, Jon campaigning hard to defend the Senate majority (success!!), and Donald Trump announcing a third run for president — there’s been a lot going on. Fundraising has taken a back seat this month, and now with…

I'm counting on you

  In a moment, I'm going to ask you to become a Founding Donor of our runoff campaign to keep Georgia blue. But first, let me explain why your support is so critical – and what could happen without it. My story is only possible here. You see, I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mo…

I’ll say it again: THANK YOU

  Wow, I am so damn proud of this team.  Even though we weren’t on the ballot this year, this incredible team stepped up like never before to help Democrats defend the Senate — and there’s still a chance we’ll expand our majority, too!  Thanks to folks like you, we raised tens of thou…

Add your name >>

  Folks,  The government has no business deciding who you can marry. That’s why when the Senate voted to advance the Respect for Marriage Act today, I was proud to vote yes.  It’s high time we codify the right to same-sex marriage into law — especially because the Supreme Court decisi…

Donald Trump just launched his 2024 presidential campaign

  Folks: It’s official.  Donald Trump has kicked off his 2024 presidential campaign with an announcement just moments ago in Mar-a-Lago.  I know I don’t need to remind you folks how divisive Donald Trump’s presidency was, and how dangerous a second term would be for our country.   Don…

Too close to call – here's what happens now:

  I've seen this too many times to recall – when battleground races come down to just a handful of votes, when it's too close to call. That's what's happening in Nevada RIGHT NOW, and with Senate control on the line, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) needs our help right now. So, I'll k…

$10,316

  I wouldn't reach out again if it weren't important.  Experts at FiveThirtyEight say our race in Georgia will decide Senate control. But polls show me 2 points down, and unless we raise another $10,316 before midnight, we won't have the resources we need to pull ahead and win. So pl…

Our emails are getting lost

Nate Silver:

Lessons from the farm

My opponent said women should “get over” the threat of a national abortion ban
