Hi John, it’s Mikie.

In just a few hours, I’ll be stepping onto the debate stage for the very first time in this campaign.

I’m running for governor to shake up the status quo and do big things for New Jersey, and I’m looking forward to laying out my vision for our state’s future tonight. But I can’t do this alone.

Before I step on stage, will you chip in $10 or more to Abigail Spanberger and my campaign for governor and help us keep up our momentum? We all have a place and a say in New Jersey’s future, and I want you to be a part of it all.

In the past few weeks and months, I’ve met so many people who believe as deeply as I do in the promise of our state. I also know we have to confront the real challenges New Jerseyans are facing.

Here are just a few things I’m ready to get done — yes, really get done —as governor:

• Building more housing so families can stay in New Jersey and put down roots here
• Repairing our public transit system so that New Jerseyans can get to work on time and make it home to take their kids to doctor’s appointments
• Lowering the costs of groceries and everyday essentials
• Protecting our rights and freedoms from the extreme agenda coming out of Washington

At the heart of it all, I believe we all have a place and a say in New Jersey’s future. Let’s build something we all can be proud of.

Every dollar we raise right now will help hire more organizers, get our message out to voters across the state, and win this race. Can you pitch in now to help us hit our pre-debate goal?

Thank you for being part of this team. Talk soon.

— Mikie
