Can I tell you a story about my family farm, folks? In 1910, my grandfather came to Montana. He found a piece of grassy land, took a look at it, and said, âThis is the place.â And thatâs where the farm began. He farmed the land until the early 1940s, and then passed it down to my folks. In 1978, my wife Sharla and I took over the farm and weâre still here today, three generations and more than 40 years later. Weâve made a lot of progress here â Sharla and I built a new home, several steel buildings, and more storage. The truth is, I love this work. Yes, it makes for early mornings and late nights during planting and harvest seasons â but it also keeps me grounded, and it gives me perspective on the issues we face every day. When I think about climate change, Iâm thinking of folks on farms like mine, struggling with catastrophic droughts or historic levels of flooding. When I think about reforming the USPS, Iâm thinking of the people in rural communities across Montana who rely on timely mail delivery for their medication or Social Security checks. And when I think about infrastructure, Iâm thinking of the rural towns near mine that need access to affordable, high-speed internet. These arenât abstract issues or talking points. Theyâre very real challenges that deserve real solutions, and thatâs what Iâm fighting for in Washington. I spend every single day trying to do right by working families, farmers, students, and veterans here in Montana and across the country. [Iâm running for reelection because thereâs still work to be done. Just like my parents and grandparents on the family farm, when I commit to something, I see it through. Can you make a split donation between my campaign and South Carolina House Dems of any amount today to help me keep up the fight in Washington?]( Iâll leave you with one last truth about farming: Some years you get the right amount of rain, and things work out really well. Other years, you get a whole lot less. That means itâs important to be prepared for any outcome, and to have a support system by your side when things get difficult. We donât know what this campaign will look like, or what Republicans will throw our way over these final few months. But with your support, weâll be ready. I appreciate anything youâre able to pitch in. Thanks for your help, and I hope I make you proud. â Jon Sent via [ActionNetwork.org](.
