My job is to direct the fundraising effort, and I have to be blunt with you: We do not have as much money as billionaire Greg Gianforte. Greg bought the governor’s seat last time with over $7.5 million of his own money — and he’s going to try and do it again. We’re running a different kind of campaign, one powered by grassroots supporters like you. It’s the right way to run a campaign, and frankly, we wouldn’t change it. [That’s why I’m asking if you can chip in $10 before our end-of-month fundraising deadline. This is our first test of the year, so we can’t afford to fall short of our $24,000 goal.]( If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process now. [DONATE $10 »]( [DONATE $25 »]( [DONATE $50 »]( [DONATE $100 »]( [DONATE $250 »]( [OTHER AMOUNT »]( I know that we’re popping up in your inbox a lot, but Gianforte and his billionaire buddies are already opening their checkbooks to try and drown out our grassroots team. We don’t fly around in private jets to pick up out-of-state campaign contributions from millionaires — that’s Greg’s schtick. But that means we need to send emails like this one if we’re going to have the resources to keep this race competitive. Our end-of-month fundraising goal wasn’t plucked out of thin air. This $24,000 gap is exactly what we need to raise to print yard signs, train volunteers, knock on doors, call voters, broadcast TV ads — and do everything else we need to win. And with the amount of money being lined up on Gianforte’s side, we can’t afford to cut back our budget even a little bit. That’s why this deadline is so important. [Will you donate $10 to help fire Greg Gianforte? Anything you can give helps us elect Ryan Busse as the next governor of Montana.]( Thanks for all you’re doing, Alice Collins Finance Director, Ryan Busse for Montana --------------------------------------------------------------- For more than 25 years, Ryan was a successful executive within the gun industry. But he also saw how unchecked extremism could take away American freedoms and even jeopardize our democracy. Ryan sees the same thing happening to Montana: wealthy extremist Greg Gianforte bought his seat with his own millions, and now he’s raising our taxes, making Montana unaffordable, defunding our public schools, locking up our public lands, hijacking our freedoms and rigging the system for the rich. Ryan is running as an advocate for ALL Montanans and as a champion for our Montana way of life. »]( MONTHLY »]( MORE »]( UP FOR EMAILS »]( PAID FOR BY BUSSE FOR MONTANA • DEMOCRAT • PO BOX 8537 • KALISPELL, MT 59904 If you would like to unsubscribe, click here: [unsubscribe]( To receive less email from us, [click here](.
