Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D. IL) in support of her colleague, U.S. Senator Jon Tester’s (D. MT) re-election campaign:
We're just five months away from a very important date: Tuesday, November 6th. Election Day.
We have a chance to take back some control in Congress. A chance to shift away from this chaos we see today and try to get our country back on track.
To do that, we don’t just need to flip some seats from red to blue, we need to protect Democrats who are in tough reelection races too. Luckily, one of the things I've learned over the years is that if you work hard, you can and will come out ahead.
We have until November 6th to put as much grassroots muscle as we can into getting Democrats elected. So today, I'm kicking off our Champions of Courage series asking you to help out one of the many Democrats running for Senate this year.
First up: Senator Jon Tester of Montana.
Special interests are diving head-first into the Montana Senate race. From the Bozeman Daily Chronicle:
"Money is pouring into Montana’s U.S. Senate race even before Republicans settle on a nominee to challenge Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, who has become a leading target of the GOP after drawing the fury of President Donald Trump."
If we want any chance of winning back majority control in the U.S. Senate, Jon has to keep his seat. And if we want Jon to do that, he needs our support.
Help Jon combat all that special interest cash with strong grassroots support. Rush in a contribution of $5, $10, or whatever amount you can.
I'll let you in on a little secret about Jon -- he's not your everyday politician.
In the Senate, Jon is a strong advocate for working families and a staunch champion for Veterans, Servicemembers and their families. He's done great work for farmers, ranchers and rural communities. He's also a leader in transparency and accountability.
As you can imagine, this hasn't endeared him to special interest groups. Which explains why they're coming after him this year.
Help keep Jon in the Senate. Chip in $5 or more.
Thanks for helping Jon today. Until next time.
Tammy
