John, it’s been a
few weeks since I won the Democratic nomination for governor of New
Jersey. But this race is already a rollercoaster — we’ve seen an
outpouring of grassroots support and also faced a barrage of right-wing
attacks.

With the key deadlines and the end of the quarter approaching, I need your
help to stop MAGA Republicans from flipping New Jersey red, and I’m humbly
asking you to [ [link removed] ]split $5 between my team and Heartland Patriots to power
our campaign to victory. But if you’re not sure (which I understand!),
here are five reasons I hope will convince you:

1) New Jersey is not a safe Democratic state anymore — far from it. The
last governor’s election here? It was decided by 3%. New Jersey’s margin
in the 2024 presidential election? 6%. The latest polling in this race
since we entered the general election? It shows me leading my GOP opponent
by only 3%.

2) Donald Trump is going to do everything he can to defeat me in this
race. He’s already endorsed my opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, and led a rally
for him — meaning MAGA money from all over the country is going to pour
into Ciattarelli’s campaign.

3) Unlike my opponent, I won’t ever hesitate to stand up to Trump when he
attacks New Jersey families. I’ve sworn an oath to the Constitution, and
I’ve spent my career honoring it to the best of my ability every single
day — before loyalty to any other politician or political party.
Ciattarelli has already made clear that his number-one priority is staying
in Trump’s good graces.

4) My top priority as governor will be making life more affordable for New
Jersey families. I’ve put forward detailed plans for lowering the cost of
everything from housing and energy to health care, child care, and
groceries — and I’m going to hit the ground running on Day 1 making them a
reality.

5) The stakes of this race are high not only for New Jersey, but for the
country. This is our chance to show the entire nation that the people
reject the Trump administration’s incompetence and authoritarianism. And
it’s our chance to get started on a better path forward — one where we
prioritize doing what’s best for working families over what’s best for
billionaires and corrupt political allies. There is no more important
bellwether ahead of 2026.

[ [link removed] ]If any of these reasons speaks to you, I hope you will split a $5
end-of-quarter donation between my team and Heartland Patriots to help me
defeat my Trump-endorsed opponent in this incredibly competitive election
to determine who leads our state for the next four years.

Thanks for reading, and have a great rest of your day.
