Hi there, John. It's Trudy's campaign manager, Alex. I wanted to make sure you saw this message from Trudy because I think it's a really special one. (If you read her email already and haven't made a donation yet, it'd mean the world to us if you could chip in $5 now.)

When her email hit my inbox, I stopped working to read through the entire thing – and then I read it again. You see, like Trudy, I was born and raised here. This state has given me so much in life – friends, community, a top-notch education, a supportive hometown, and, of course, real Missouri values.

That's why it has been painful to see the Show Me State gain national attention for all the ways that our leaders are failing families here: our staggering rates of opioid overdoses, our increasingly extreme abortion mandates, and our leaders undermining democracy at every turn.

We need leaders who know Missouri, who love Missouri, and who are truly committed to serving Missouri families. Leaders like that don't come along often. But when they do, you have to throw everything you've got behind them. That's why I put my life on hold to run this campaign full-time – even after I promised myself I would sit this election cycle out.

You see, I know that Trudy is the leader Missourians deserve – and I know that this is the year that we're finally going to flip this seat blue. But we can only defeat Eric Schmitt and his megadonors if folks like you give this race everything you've got in these last 9 days before the election. That's why I'm asking you, John, to not sit this one out. Please, will you make a donation to flip Missouri blue, send Trudy to the Senate, and give Missouri the compassionate, honest leadership we deserve?

Thank you for being on this team. Trudy and I are so grateful.

Onward to the election,


Alex Witt (Trudy's campaign manager)
