John, our first and only major debate is about to begin, and I wanted to reach out to say one thing before I take the stage: Thank you.

It's a privilege to have you in this fight with me. I hope I make you proud.

Tonight, voters across the city will be watching and deciding who they plan to vote for, and I'm beyond excited to share our bold vision to end the public safety crisis, fully fund our public schools, clean our streets, and deliver a Philadelphia that loves you back.

But I’m going to need your help making that message heard in this historically crowded field of ten candidates — including self-funding millionaires who’ve already spent a small fortune to drown us out.

That's why I’m personally asking if you'll add a donation of any amount before I go up on stage. Here's your personal donation link: actblue.com/donate/[email protected]

For decades, I’ve taken on our city’s biggest challenges and delivered solutions – whether it was restoring nurses and counselors to schools, cutting evictions by nearly 70%, or guaranteeing predictable schedules for hourly workers.

All of this has only been possible thanks to people like you, John, standing shoulder to shoulder with me in this fight.

The debate starts at 6:30PM on FOX 29 and will stream on their website. Hope you’ll tune in.

I can’t tell you how much it means to me to know I can count on you in these crucial moments.

Thank you for being part of this movement.
