John,

I’m going to level with you:

In the latest analysis, our race has been rated as “leaning Democrat.” That doesn’t mean it’s an easy win—on the contrary—it means we need to fight harder than ever now to win this race.

Let me pull back the curtain and explain:

Pennsylvania is the closest swing state in the country. In 2016, Trump won our state by just one percentage point—and in 2020, Biden won by just one percentage point.

John, races in Pennsylvania aren’t easily won. We have to fight like hell to protect this seat, to push back against my opponent’s extremism, and to turn out the vote.

And if we want Democrats to take back the House, that path runs right through PA-17.

If you’re with me, I’d be so grateful for anything you can pitch in to help me win this race and flip the House blue →

I won’t sugarcoat this John, without grassroots support, we could lose the momentum.

Listen, I don’t like asking you for money, and I don’t expect you to donate just because we have goals to hit.

But I am asking for your support because I’m hoping that, if I lay out the stakes of this race, if I lay out my record, that you’ll believe in this campaign enough to contribute your hard-earned money.

I learned growing up right here in Western Pennsylvania that if we want something, we have to work for it. I decided to run for office because we need more people in Congress with the courage to fight for your rights. And I am going to fight like hell for your support, I’m going to fight like hell to win this race, and I’m going to fight like hell for you in Congress.

I brought money back to Western Pennsylvania so that we could support our firefighters and cops, invest in better roads, public transit, parks, and housing, and provide clean drinking water.

I’ve fought to keep corporations from deceiving and ripping off the American people.

I cracked down on big rail to push for rail safety and protections for our communities.

And I’m proud to be fighting hard for our values every single day.

Folks like my opponent on the other side are hard at work trying to roll back abortion rights, gut voting rights, keep health care a total ripoff, and undermine our democracy.

I’m not afraid to stand up to them and fight for our freedoms. But the reality is that if we want to continue making progress, we need to defend this seat, and we need to take back the House.

So if you’re with me in this fight, and you’re able to contribute, I would humbly appreciate your donation to this campaign today →

Thank you for your support,

Chris
