Help Brian unseat John Thune

Ad copy

I’m asking for your $10 before midnight, but let me tell ya why: Winning this Senate seat will be the difference between handing McConnell a HUMILIATING defeat and handing Republicans the reins to our democracy. So I’m humbly asking for $5, $10, $15 – or whatever you can spare – to fund my people-powered campaign and flip this seat for Democrats.

Standout elementFacebook content-removed placeholder replacing the actual ad creative
TacticThe ad leverages a midnight deadline and the prospect of a 'humiliating defeat' for McConnell to drive urgent small-dollar donations, though its actual creative was removed for a disclaimer violation, leaving only the Facebook enforcement screen visible.
