Folks like our teachers, farmers, and construction workers deserve a government that fights for them.͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏
 | | | | Hi folks.
Here's a photo of my grandparents, Arnfred and Christine, on their wedding day in 1905. That was a couple years before they picked out a flat piece of grassland just outside Big Sandy to homestead. |  | | That patch of loamy, alkaline clay soil is the same one where I grew up, where Sharla and I raised our kids, and where we still farm the land to this day.
Things weren't easy for Fred and Christine. They suffered devastating windstorms, bitter cold, fires, poisonous snakes—pretty much everything but locusts. They had a couple hundred acres to their name, a newly-built barn, a windmill, their healthy son and daughters (including Helen, my mom), strong muscles, and the powerful work ethic that built rural America.
I first ran for office to make sure our government was serving hardworking Americans like my grandparents. Folks like our teachers, farmers, and construction workers deserve a government that fights for them.
But the special interests trying to unseat me don't care about that. Dark-money groups are spending millions of dollars to misinform voters and replace me with a mouthpiece for their own agenda. They'll do whatever it takes to elect their handpicked candidate because they don't care about protecting our way of life—they're just in it for power and influence. | | That's not how I operate, and it's why we're running this campaign differently. I'm counting on grassroots folks like you chipping in what you can, when you can, to build a team strong enough to take on the mountains of cash these outside groups have earmarked to defeat me. | | Can I count on you to split a contribution between my people-powered campaign and Kirsten Gillibrand's? With the election season in full swing, we need to fight back now >> | | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Jon Tester and Kirsten Gillibrand will go through immediately: | | Your donation—no matter the amount—plants the seeds of our movement, ensuring we grow the resources we need to win.
Thanks for your support. Together, we can keep me in the Senate fighting for the little guy.
—Jon | | | |
