Family — we have an important fundraising deadline coming up, and in a moment, I’ll ask you to make a contribution to help us hit our fundraising goal.

But first, I wanted to share my thoughts now that a few days have passed since Donald Trump rallied a crowd of MAGA supporters on the shore in Wildwood in Cape May County.

He asserted that his toxic brand of xenophobia, an economic agenda that cuts taxes for his wealthiest donors and makes it harder for ordinary people to get by, and relentlessly undermining the rule of law would put New Jersey in play.

I took that personally because, like most of the things he utters, his ridiculous claim couldn’t be further from the truth.

From the time even before I was born, when a volunteer group of lawyers helped my parents purchase a home in what was previously an all-white neighborhood after witnessing the courage and heroism of Civil Rights activists like John Lewis in Selma, Alabama on Bloody Sunday, the people of New Jersey have shown me the path to building a more just, loving nation.

That’s what this election in November is going to be about, and with our campaign’s May fundraising deadline right around the corner, our immediate response to Trump’s South Jersey rally will send an important signal about our ability to win the many important fights to come. Please, I need your help. Can you pitch in $3 or any other amount you can afford?

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

Just four times per year, we report all of our fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission. We’re at the halfway point of the second quarter — when we will see whether we are on the right track to ensure we have the resources for me to rally Democratic voters and volunteers in battleground states across the country this summer and fall.

Your support today will make a tangible difference in our ability to not only keep New Jersey blue, but defend our progress all across the country.

I would personally appreciate your support, so here’s that fundraising link one last time.

Thanks so much for everything you do to support our campaign and uphold our Democratic values. You are an indispensable part of our movement.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
