Last shot

  Folks, I’ll make this real quick. My finance team just called and said that with the way things are looking right now, we may miss our fundraising goal. We only have a few hours left, and we’re so close that your donation could put us over the top. I wouldn’t be asking if this wasn’…

You’re in the top 21%

  Team, Thanks for taking a moment out of your day to open this email. You’re now part of the (on average) 21% of folks on our email list who read our messages. Of that 21%, only a little over 1% actually click our donation, petition, or survey links. And an even smaller fraction of t…

Jon was just attacked

  This is urgent, team— Top GOP operatives flew into Montana over the weekend to viciously attack Jon and fire up Republicans in the hopes of defeating him and retaking the Senate majority. We’ve set an emergency $15,000 goal. Rush $10 right now to help us fight back against these att…

The secret sauce

  Folks, As one of only a handful of Democrats who won reelection in a state Trump won last cycle, I’m often asked how I did it. But let me tell you folks, there’s no secret sauce. As a farm kid, I learned at a young age that there’s no shortcut for hard work. So I get up every mornin…

I love being a farmer

Fred and Christine

  Hi folks. Here’s a photo of my grandparents, Arnfred and Christine, on their wedding day in 1905. That was seven years before they picked out a flat piece of grassland just outside Big Sandy to build their homestead. That patch of loamy, alkaline clay-soil is the same one where I g…

Asking for just 4 quarters... no really

It’s a toss-up race
