Friend,

According to reporting from Axios, Republican strategists are privately admitting that their internal polling is "dire." They aren't just worried about the House anymore—they are terrified they’re going to lose the U.S. Senate.

The bedwetting in Washington is reaching a fever pitch because the map is expanding into states they thought were safe bets. They’re seeing vulnerabilities in places like Iowa, Ohio, and Alaska.

But here is the part they aren't saying out loud yet: Republican leadership knows more Senate candidates are vulnerable than they ever anticipated. And our polling tells us Mike Rounds is vulnerable to our Independent campaign.

After 32 years in elected office and 12 years in the Senate, Mike Rounds has become the face of the complacency that is dragging their party down. He’s spent a decade in the D.C. Country Club, and South Dakotans have noticed.

While the national GOP is sounding the alarm in closed-door meetings, we already have the proof on the ground: Our latest poll shows me leading Mike Rounds 42% to 39% once voters learn about my story.

Voters are tired of the party politics. They want serious, disciplined leaders who follow a code of integrity—not party dictatorship. Can I count on you to help me prove Mike Rounds is vulnerable by chipping in to my campaign? [ [link removed] ]

As a retired Air Force Lt. Colonel and JAG officer, I’m the only candidate in this race who can actually win this seat. A Democrat starts 20 points down in South Dakota, but an Independent veteran who calls balls and strikes can get the job done here.

If all goes to plan, Senate Republicans and their allied SuperPACs are going to spend tens of millions of dollars to try to save vulnerable incumbents like Rounds. We don't need millions to compete; we just need the resources to keep our message on the air.

Remember, because South Dakota is so efficient, your $25 donation today has the same impact as nearly $1,000 in a state like Florida. You are funding the highest-leverage "political earthquake" on the map.

Will you chip in $25 right now to help me reach the Senate and prove the D.C establishment is right to worry about South Dakota? [ [link removed] ]
