John, it's Chrissy again on day three of the convention.
|
|
One thing that’s surprised me about this week – this my first convention – is that it’s not all colorful hats and exciting speeches, there’s a lot of programming focused on solutions to our nation’s problems. For example, yesterday, after breakfast with my friend, Senator Chris Coons, and delegates from Delaware, I participated in a discussion about veterans health care. Given that policy makers and stakeholders from all over the country are gathered in one place, that makes sense to me now. :-)
|
Most of the media outlets reporting from the convention are set up at the United Center on “media row.” After attending a reception hosted by Elect Democratic Women – I’m on the board – I went to the United Center to talk with Julie Mason with SiriusXM’s nonpartisan POTUS channel about the important role Pennsylvania plays in electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as our next President and Vice President.
|
I think my strongest memory from yesterday was being able to see all the state banners that I’ve always seen on television as a child and feeling the energy of the arena. And having the chance to walk through media row and seeing the free press in action, all the conversations that were being had in and around this incredibly energized convention.
|
It’s a privilege to be here and a huge responsibility. There is so, so much excitement and joy for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and at the end of this week, we have to go back to our communities and phone bank, knock on doors, talk to our neighbors, and do the critical work of electing this ticket.
|
So I’m counting on you to help me do just that. To power my reelection campaign – to elect Democrats up and down the ballot across Pennsylvania – we need to raise $2,500 by the end of the convention at midnight tomorrow. Are you with me? If you’re able, please donate $5 or more right now to help us reach voters in PA to keep this seat blue, take back the House, and get me back to work on the issues that matter to your family.
|
Thank you for your help. There's work to be done.

Chrissy
