Hi Jason, it's Chris Jones, Democratic nominee for Arkansas Governor. Let me tell you a bit about our race.
Last month, Arkansans turned out to the polls to choose Faith, Hope, and Hard Work when they nominated our campaign to lead the Democratic Party at the top of the ticket this November.
At the same time, Republican voters chose Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the former Trump White House press secretary and daughter of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to run against us.
The national media counts our campaign as a longshot, and that's alright. We know the that it's doable and also how to best move our voters to the polls.
They aren't in our campaign offices in Little Rock, Pine Bluff, or Hughes across the river from Memphis, Tennessee, seeing the energy from local activists and volunteers.
They weren't on the road with me as I visited all 75 counties across Arkansas. Including a few counties where, to be honest, they haven't even seen a Black person in a very long time.
They weren't in the room in the former sundown town of Harrison, Arkansas, where we can get 50 people to show up to hear and cheer on our campaign's message.
Overcoming that which makes us different and the hate, fear, and prejudice promoted by some of the angriest voices in our politics — to choose something better for all of us.
As a 7th generation Arkansan, I know our state deserves better. But I need your help.
This is where I have to ask, Jason:
Will you split a $10 contribution between our campaign and Dirt Road PAC today so that we can take on Sarah Huckabee Sanders, beat the odds, and win this race?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Dirt Road PAC and Chris Jones will go through immediately:
If the Democratic Party is going to compete in all 50 states, we need to put resources into all 50 states. Especially ones like Arkansas.
My friend Jaime Harrison visited Arkansas just before last month's primary to share that message.
This is a campaign that's working every day to reach the folks at the ends of dirt roads who haven't seen politics do anything for them in decades.
Many who have never seen a candidate like me running for governor in a state like Arkansas.
I know we have what it takes to stand up to overcome the hate and lies that will come from Sarah Huckabee Sanders' campaign and win.
I'm humbly asking that you join us, Jason — chip in $10 or any amount to support our campaign and Dirt Road PAC's important work. Together, we can give Arkansas the leadership it deserves.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Dirt Road PAC and Chris Jones will go through immediately:
Gratefully,
Chris Jones
Democratic nominee for Governor of Arkansas
