there is no doubt that these past two months have looked different on the campaign trail.

We have run our campaign completely online. Facebook Lives, digital broadcasts, press conferences over Twitter, phone calls, Zoom calls – you name it – all out of my attic at home. For about six weeks, we suspended all political activity. That meant no political calls from our organizing team (we did check-in calls to seniors instead), and no urgent campaign fundraising asks in these emails (we raised nearly $100,000 for charity instead).

But now we are less than four months away from the primary. And I want to be honest and transparent about our goals. We need to kick this campaign back into gear and ensure we have the resources we need to win. So today, I'm asking for your help. Will you pitch in to help restart our operation?

You may be asking, "Why is Joe asking for a contribution now?" Here's why:

This fight has taken on new urgency. With four months to go, it has never been more clear that we need stronger leadership in the Senate and in Washington. We need a U.S. Senator who will be here with us, on the ground in Massachusetts, fighting with every ounce of his time and energy as we recover and rebuild.

The donation you make today will go towards paying our field staff, who are going to start making calls to people all across the state, telling them the story of this campaign. It will go to our ongoing digital efforts, to make sure every voter in Massachusetts sees what Team Kennedy is all about. It will go towards mail pieces and TV ads, office space, gas, supplies, and staff – the essential components of any political campaign.

This fight has always been community-led. And we're counting on you, now more than ever. Let's ensure we have representation that will stand up for everyone in the US Senate. Let's give Massachusetts a team who will fight with every single ounce of their might to make sure every voice is heard across this state. Let's fight together for the leadership we deserve.

I know how difficult these times are, so if a donation is out of the question, that is okay. It doesn't make me any less grateful for the support, energy, attention, and inspiration that you provide this campaign every day.

Let's keep fighting. Thank you for being part of this team.
