John: Because we run a people-powered campaign — one funded by donations from over 5,000 supporters like you — my team and I have to make key spending decisions on a day-by-day basis. And tomorrow, we’ll make one of the most important choices yet.

Tomorrow, we'll decide how much we can spend on TV ads in the final week of this race. It's one of the biggest decisions of this entire campaign because it'll decide who gets the last word as Philadelphians vote: Us, or the people who think they can buy our city?

That's why I'm reaching out personally, John: Please click here to watch our ad and rush a donation — whatever you can spare — to maximize our reach in the last week of this race.

From the beginning, we knew winning this race would be tough.

Our multi-millionaire opponents don't need to make hard decisions like this because they can write themselves huge checks whenever they need to.

And we’re up against the far-right, too. I’m being attacked on TV right now by a shady group tied to a billionaire who’s focused on defunding our schools.

But I’ve spent 30 years taking on Philly’s toughest fights, and I’ve won them the same way we’ll win this time — by building a fearless coalition of Philadelphians who refuse to accept our broken status quo.

My opponents say our plans are too big. I say their ideas are too small.

John, we only have 9 days left, and I need you with me now more than ever. Will you please make your first donation to this campaign so we can reach as many undecided voters as possible?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your contribution will go through immediately:

Philadelphians deserve to be represented by someone who will always put our city first and someone who will prioritize their health and safety.

That’s why we’re asking for your help today. Thank you so much for all you’re doing.
