Hi friends,

I’m Arianna Larson — a resident of Manchester, a working mom, a military spouse, and one of Congressman John Larson’s many proud nieces.

And I’m writing to say one thing loud and clear: it’s game on.

This is not a fundraising email. It’s a rallying cry. A call to action. A moment to get off the sidelines and get behind our candidate.

For the first time in a long time, my Uncle John may be facing a more competitive primary challenge. And while I respect the value of new voices and fresh ideas — believe me, I’m part of the next generation of Democrats eager to make change — I also know that this is not the moment to be testing the bench.

This election is happening in the second half of a Trump presidency. The stakes are enormous. We don’t need a reset — we need results. And no one delivers like John Larson.

He’s a lifelong public servant who knows this district, knows how to lead, and never forgets who he’s fighting for. He doesn’t seek the spotlight — he just gets to work and gets things done.

This is a pitch for momentum. For your energy. For people power. We need your voice, your time, and your belief in what’s possible when we fight smart and stick together.

My Uncle John is ready. The campaign is ready. The family is ready. And today, as he celebrates his birthday, and another year of life dedicated to public service, I can’t think of a better way to honor that than by showing up for him – just like he’s always shown up for us!

So here’s what I’m asking: if you know anyone who lives in Connecticut’s First Congressional District – family, neighbors, friends – please forward this message and help spread the word. Let’s make sure folks know what’s at stake, and who’s ready to deliver. Let’s meet this moment — and win it.

Game on!
