Big news, John.
I just filed the paperwork to run for Congress in WA-10. I will officially be on the primary ballot in August. This is a huge milestone, and I couldn’t have done it without your help.
If elected, I will be the first openly LGBTQ member of Congress from Washington State, and the first (across the country!) born in the 90’s. But I don’t want to just make history, I want to make a difference.
I’m running for Congress because we need to build on the progressive change I helped make for Washington state as one of Congressman Denny Heck’s top aides. We are in a use-it-or-lose-it moment for our democracy, and our country needs leaders with bold plans and honest messages -- leaders who can get things done through smart, strategic collaboration.
My campaign manager Spencer will be in touch soon about our pathway to victory, but to celebrate this milestone, I have an important request that I hope you can help us with:
Election season is officially underway the minute the candidate filing deadline closes on Friday. We set a goal of raising $10,000 before then to send a powerful message to ourselves, our supporters, and the other candidates in this race that we have strength and momentum.
Now that I’m on the ballot, can I count on you to chip in $3 to help us meet this mark? This is so important.
All my best,
Phil
