Hey John,

We had a saying in the military: "I've got your 6." It comes from fighter pilots in World War I, and it basically means ‘I've got your back’.

Right now, Brian Fitzpatrick does not have Pennsylvanians' 6. He constantly sides with MAGA – on abortion, on gun violence, on our very freedom to vote.

I flew Apache helicopters in combat, where my main job was providing cover for troops on the ground. As an Army officer, I had to look out for every single member of my unit and do my utmost to protect them.

I got into this race because folks in Bucks and MontCo need a representative who will have their 6 – something I've got experience doing.

The thing is, I'm a public school kid who went into the Army as a way to afford college. I don't have a rich family or a big network of private school pals who can write max-out checks to my campaign. I'm not taking money from corporate PACs, either.

Instead, I'm counting on folks like you to have MY 6 – by pitching in whatever you can to raise what we need to win. If you can give just $10, it would mean a lot.

Thanks for being in this with me as my co-pilot,

Ashley
