Received this e-mail today from Governor Terry McAuliffe (D. VA) in support of Governor Steve Bullock’s (D. MT) re-election campaign:
My friend, Governor Steve Bullock of Montana, is in a tough race for reelection.
That’s why I’m asking you to help with a donation to his campaign so he will have what it takes to win in November.
The Republicans can’t stand the thought of a strong Democratic governor in Montana. Their candidate is a multi-millionaire with deep pockets, who has already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the election.
Can you join me and make a contribution right now to Steve’s campaign so he can win this tight race in the fall? >>
Steve has the fundamental Montanan values of fairness, equal opportunity, and love of country. Under his watch as governor, he used his executive power to make sure people in state employment or on a state contract are not discriminated against because of sexual orientation or gender expression.
Thanks to Steve’s leadership, Montana has been ranked as the most fiscally prudent state in the country. Under his direction, the state is making record investments in public schools, while expanding access to health care for tens of thousands of Montanans. And, after decades of conflict, Steve gave buffalo the room to roam from Yellowstone National Park without being slaughtered.
Please pitch in right away and make a donation to Steve’s campaign. >>
The Republicans think they can snatch back control by promoting a candidate with a track record of dishing out large sums of money to organizations promoting LGBT discrimination. Their candidate has even lobbied in favor of a job-killing discrimination law similar to the controversial North Carolina law.
I know what it’s like to be up against a harsh and well-funded right-wing opponent. It’s not easy. The Republicans are getting ready to throw everything they can at Steve to stop him from winning in November.
We need to make sure Steve can go the distance and win.
Thanks,
Terry McAuliffe.
P.S. We can’t afford to let a great Democratic governor like Steve Bullock lose. Your support with a donation today can make a real difference.
