A humble request

["We're having the whole kitchen sink thrown at us. Can you help?"]( Hey, folks, I’m Brandon Presley, the Democratic nominee for governor here in Mississippi, with an important update on the state of my race. [If you already know what’s at stake, please chip in $3 or whatever you can right now to be split between my campaign and the Democratic Governors Association before our campaign’s critical end-of-month deadline. If not, please read on.]( [Donate $3 (becomes 2x)]( Team, I jumped into this race because I have a deep love for Mississippi. I was raised by a single mama in a blue-collar family outside of Tupelo who inspired me to dedicate my life to public service. That's why I became mayor of my hometown: to fight for the families left behind. But while I was giving back to my community, my opponent Tate Reeves – one of the most unpopular governors in the nation – was busy building his career by cozying up to lobbyists and becoming neck-deep in the biggest corruption scandal in our state’s history. Under Reeves' watch, bombshell reporting says millions of taxpayer dollars were diverted to his personal trainer and celebrity friends – instead of fully funding our schools or keeping the lights on in our struggling hospitals. That’s why here in Mississippi we’re absolutely fed up with Reeves – a corrupt politician who will do and say anything to keep his rich and powerful buddies happy. I won’t. I’m running for Governor to fight corruption, not embrace it. To serve working people and families, not special interests. And to lead with strength, courage, and real backbone. The good news: 1 in 5 GOP primary voters say they’d choose us over Reeves in November, and the polls consistently show us in a neck-and-neck race. I know this campaign is winnable – but I also know it’s going to come down to the wire. So, here's my humble request: [before Monday’s critical end-of-month deadline, will you split a donation of $3 between my campaign and the DGA? This is a big opportunity to show our grassroots strength. I’m counting on you to donate whatever you can spare while donations to the DGA are being matched up to their $50,000 end-of-month goal.]( If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between Brandon Presley and the Democratic Governors Association: [Donate $3 (becomes $6)]( [Donate $6 (becomes $12)](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) [Donate $12 (becomes $24)]( [Or donate other amount (becomes DOUBLED)]( Thank you so much for having my back and believing in a better future for Mississippi. With gratitude, Brandon Presley [Brandon Presley is a fighter who keeps his promises, stands up for the little guy, and isn’t afraid to ruffle more than a few feathers to deliver results for hardworking Mississippi families. He has dedicated his life to public service and became mayor of his hometown of Nettleton where he cut taxes twice, balanced the budget, and helped bring in new jobs. He still lives in the house he grew up in outside Tupelo – he’s even Elvis Presley’s cousin! Now he’s running for governor to make the Magnolia State stronger for generations to come. He needs your help, team. Will you answer his call to action before our critical end-of-month deadline?]( [DONATE NOW]( --------------------------------------------------------------- We’re relying on grassroots supporters to provide us with the urgent resources we need to win nationwide.
