John,

I want to thank you all so much for being a part of Team Cartwright and having my back. There’s no kidding ourselves: We are in the fight of our lives to stop National Republicans from flipping PA-08 from blue to red.

This is one of their hottest prospects, and they are throwing everything from blatant lies to the kitchen sink at me to try to win here. But as long as you, John, are in my corner, I know they won’t succeed.

I’ve always considered myself an FDR Democrat. To me, that means fighting for America’s workers over Wall Street and big monied interests. And that mission has taken on a particular importance today in the COVID-19 era.

We need to provide our essential workers with hazard pay as they take the risks to ensure that our store shelves remain stocked, our deliveries keep arriving, and our communities stay safe. We also need to ensure our workers not only get paid what they deserve, but that they can be as safe as possible while on the clock. That’s why I’ve called on OSHA to implement emergency standards that’ll put safety front-and-center.

But all this talk of fighting for workers, and safety, and fair pay doesn’t register with National Republicans who just see an opportunity to flip my seat and retake the House, John. That’s why I’m determined to win this fight. It’s not about me, it’s not about keeping the House Majority, it’s for all the people in Pennsylvania and across America who would be left behind by the GOP establishment.

So thank you, John, for being in this fight alongside me. Together, we can do this.

Yours,
Matt

P.S. If you haven’t recently, would you consider making a grassroots donation to my re-election campaign? It really makes the difference in our ability to defend this seat!
