Hey John – it’s Wes Moore, Governor of Maryland.

I just got off the Democratic National Convention stage with one clear message: Americans want to elect leaders who are going to fight for them and their families. Kamala Harris and my friend, Gov. Tim Walz have been doing that from day one, and they'll continue that fight when we elect them this November. Let’s help them get there.

If you are ready to win up and down the ballot, please rush a gift of $3 to the Democratic Governors Association at this critical moment. Your donation will be triple-matched up to our $500,000 goal – but only until the end of the Convention tomorrow at midnight!

John, it’s unacceptable to me when people malign the meaning of patriotism and twist it to fit their needs. We know that MAGA extremists will do anything to try to win – including undermining our nation’s democracy as they did on January 6th.

As a combat veteran who fought to protect our democracy – I know in my soul what real patriotism is. Patriotism is about unity. Patriotism is about service. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are real patriots.

Because making America great doesn’t mean telling people: “You’re not wanted” – making America great means saying: “The ambitions of this country would be incomplete without your help.” And I know Kamala and Tim will work to uplift all of our families and neighbors – because they are patriots who serve, even when the mission is hard and the destination is uncertain.

But let’s be clear: this will be an uphill battle, and Kamala, Tim, and their allies in the states, Democratic governors like myself, can’t do it alone. From Social Security and reproductive rights to control of Congress and 11 governorships including in key swing states like North Carolina and New Hampshire, everything we care about is at stake.

So we need your help now more than ever. This moment calls for all of us to come together to save our democracy and while there are those who view progress as impossible – everything seems impossible until it’s done. So let’s get it done.

John, will you chip in $3 or more before midnight to stop Republicans and elect Democratic governors? Your donation today will be triple-matched up to our $500,000 goal, but only until tomorrow at midnight, so please don’t wait.

Onward,

Governor Wes Moore
