John,

My friend and fellow governor Andy Beshear needs our help.

Below is a message from him, laying out the stakes of his race in Kentucky – which will be the most competitive governor's race this year.

Don't need convincing? We're asking you to split a donation between our campaigns to keep Maryland and Kentucky moving forward.

As the new finance chair of the Democratic Governors Association, you can expect to hear more from me on the importance of electing Democrats to these critical roles.

Elevate,

Wes

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear here.

It's official – the general election has begun! I'm up against Mitch McConnell's protege and outside money is already flooding our state, just as it did last time around, to try and undo all of the progress we've made. I need your support to win this tough race and continue moving Kentucky forward.

I ran for office in 2019 on the promise to do right by Kentuckians in every corner of the Commonwealth. Since being elected, my team and I have helped produce the highest revenue surplus in the state’s history, created more and better-paying jobs for Kentuckians, funded our schools, and expanded health care for folks.

Now I'm running for re-election to protect this progress and continue delivering results for Kentuckians, but I have a tough fight ahead of me. As the only Democratic incumbent governor up for re-election this year, we know that this race will be the most competitive in the whole country.

Please, if you can, split a contribution between my campaign and Wes Moore to help me win this governor's race and protect Kentucky's progress.

As the only Democratic incumbent governor running for re-election this year, I have a target on my back. But I'm not going to allow that to dissuade us from running an honest, transparent, and people-powered campaign.

I won the governor's office by just 5,136 votes last time around. I know this will be another tough race, and I'm counting on your support to ensure my team and I have the resources to take on my opponent and outside spending.

Can I count on you? Split a donation between my re-election campaign and Wes Moore to help us win this race and keep moving Kentucky forward.

Thank you for being a part of this campaign,

Andy
