Help Brian unseat John Thune

Ad copy

If we flip this seat in South Dakota, Democrats are all but guaranteed to hold the Senate and have one of the biggest Democratic Majorities in history. Affordable healthcare, quality jobs, and our democracy are all on the line this November. But first we have to compete with Senator John Thune’s $16 million warchest funded by corporations and wealthy elites. Can you chip in $10 to help me reach 1,000 gifts before midnight to help me win this race and build a historic Democratic Majority?
