I will never forget the sacrifices my father made for my family, John. When things got tough, he stepped up to the plate: From cleaning boilers to selling cars, he showed me what true commitment and determination looks like.

My father was a decent man, and he raised me to believe that you can make it in America if you try. I know this ideal hasn’t been fully realized, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to achieve.

John, the only way we can fulfill this fundamentally American promise is if we elect Democratic leaders who understand the values of hard work and public service. The American people deserve a leader who will fight for their best interests, and it is clear that Donald Trump and his administration lack the moral clarity to guide this great nation through not only this crisis, but the long recovery ahead.

We can get this country back on track, but only if we come together now and work to elect leaders of character up and down the ballot. Please, split a $10 donation between my campaign and the Democratic Unity Fund to support Democrats running for office nationwide.

Here's the deal: We can choose whether our country works for just the wealthy or for all of us -- but that choice must be made while there's still time to make a difference. A strong, unified party is key to Democratic victories nationwide in November, and right now, the DNC is scaling up its resources and programs to make that happen.

Candidates up and down the ballot -- including myself -- are relying on the DNC's digital presence, advanced technology, and voter protection efforts to take on Donald Trump and the Republicans. But truth be told, our party is only as strong as our grassroots. That’s why your support -- while it's still early enough to have a strong impact -- could not be more crucial to the success of Democrats all over the country.

I was raised to value hard work, John -- not to be intimidated by it. The road to the White House will be a long one, but there’s nothing that we cannot accomplish when we stand together. If you can, please split a $10 donation to my campaign and the Democratic Unity Fund today. We’re counting on folks like you to get us across the finish line.

Thank you for being a part of this team.

Joe
