Help Brian unseat John Thune

Ad copy

I’m asking for your $5 before midnight, but let me tell ya why: I spent 26 years defending our country in the Navy and Air Force. So I was horrified when I saw insurrectionists storm our Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Now I’m running to protect our Democracy in the Senate. But I’m up against John Thune who voted to block Congress’ critical investigation into the attack. That’s why your $5 is essential to funding my campaign and proving we have what it takes to unseat Senator Thune. Can I count on your support?
