Team —

I know you get a lot of emails from me. But I want to take a few minutes to tell you about my decision to run for governor, and why your support is so critical to our success.

I was raised to believe that we have an obligation to our community and our country. This country gave my family so much, and it’s always been obvious to me that I wanted to dedicate my life to public service.

It’s why I took my first oath to the Constitution as a teenager when I entered the Naval Academy.

It’s why I spent nearly a decade in the Navy as a helicopter pilot and Russian policy officer.

It’s why I went to law school, and became an Outreach and Reentry Coordinator and a federal prosecutor.

Team, it’s why I first decided to run for office.

In 2017, I watched Donald Trump attack every value that I had spent my life fighting for. And as I thought about it, I realized I couldn’t ask someone to do my fighting for me – that if I wanted to defend the country I love then I had to run toward the crisis.

It was a long shot to run as a nobody in a district that had been held by an entrenched Republican for more than two decades.

But I knew what was at stake and I knew what I had to do.

I’m proud of the work I’ve done in Congress — work that earned me the distinction of being named the most effective member of the New Jersey House delegation in just my second term.

But I know I can do more as your governor. And that’s why I decided to run.

By winning this seat, we can build more homes to reduce mortgage and rental costs, crack down on shady middlemen making prescription medications more expensive, and bring down utility costs by bringing more clean, cheap power like solar onto the grid.

But the truth is that this is already the most expensive New Jersey gubernatorial race on record. And our opponents are benefiting from millions of dollars in spending from outside entities. So I am asking:

Will you consider splitting $10 or whatever you can between my campaign and iVote Fund as we head into the final stretch before the June 10 election?

Thank you,
Mikie
 
 

iVote was created in 2014 with one goal: secure voting rights for all Americans.

Rather than take on challenges in the court after unfair laws have passed, iVote plays defense on voter suppression efforts AND goes on offense to secure and expand access to voting.

Going on offense is critical. We have the chance to elect Secretaries of State that will protect our elections for years to come. But Republicans are already suppressing and blocking certain citizens from exercising their fundamental right to vote.

DONATE

We need a massive coalition to register new voters and protect our right to vote in this election and beyond.

We know you get a lot of emails, but it's only because this fight is so important. We need you to stick with us long term. But if you must go, you can unsubscribe.
