Folks,

In a few moments, I’m going to ask you to make a Day One contribution to my campaign for Governor of New Jersey. But first, I hope you’ll give me a moment to explain why your early support is so meaningful.

After this election, we know people are more divided than ever on how we move forward.

With Donald Trump in the White House, folks are worried about how much he’ll roll back our fundamental rights. They’re worried about how he’ll attack our freedoms. Frankly, they’re worried if we’ll be able to get anything done at all.

We cannot afford to lose the New Jersey governor’s race in 2025. Democratic governors are the first line of defense against Donald Trump and his extremist agenda, and nothing is more important to me than fighting for New Jersey.

As a Navy helicopter pilot, as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, and as a Member of Congress, I’ve always been willing to take on anyone and everyone to serve the people and deliver results. I’ve never turned away from a tough fight — and this will be no different.

We can win this race and get to work on New Jersey’s future, but we need to do it the same way we always have — together.

Grassroots support has always been the key ingredient to our success — from 2018, when we flipped New Jersey’s 11th District blue for the first time in decades, to winning reelection three cycles in a row — earning more votes than any other New Jersey House Democrat in 2022 and 2024.

We’ve built one of the most powerful grassroots movements the Garden State has ever seen, and if we’re going to win this race for New Jersey’s future, we need to get to work right now.

It would mean the world to me to have your support as we launch this campaign. Can I count on you to become a Day One donor by contributing any amount today?

By contributing today, you’ll be helping my team and I build up the resources we need to build this campaign from the ground up and land this thing in 2025.

Thank you for everything,

Mikie
