John,

When I first read this TIME article a year ago, it gutted me. And so have the countless other stories of those who've suffered because anti-choice Republicans have cut off their access to abortion care.

I got into this race because I don't trust Brian Fitzpatrick to do a damn thing to protect our reproductive freedom. In fact, he voted for MAGA Mike Johnson for Speaker – and Johnson has made it abundantly clear that he supports a national abortion ban.

Here's where I stand on abortion and your right to control your own body:

• I believe that access to abortion is essential to protecting the rights of women to freely participate in society.
• I believe YOU know best when it comes to your healthcare – not me or any politician.
• Everyone loves someone who has had an abortion. Nearly 1 in 4 women will have an abortion in their lifetimes.
• It is not enough to restore Roe. We need to make sure everyone in this country, regardless of zip code or economic status, can access the full range of healthcare that they need – not just reproductive care, but all care.

I’m the ONLY pro-choice candidate in this race, and you can trust me to protect your right to choose just like I protected my unit on the battlefield from my Apache helicopter.

I just need your help to build a campaign that can get me to Congress, where I can make the biggest difference. Will you pitch in $10 or more right now?

Thanks for being in this fight with me as my co-pilot,

Ashley 🚁
