[ [link removed] ]Politico headline: 'Another poll shows a single-digit race for
governor.'

John, too
often when campaigns face cold, hard data showing a tough road ahead, they
turn a blind eye. It’s one of the reasons Democrats are where we are
today.

I’m determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past. So I’m going to
share with you the truth about what the data is showing about our race
here in New Jersey. I’m also going to share my plan for how we overcome
the obstacles and win. And then, if you’re all in on beating Jack
Ciattarelli and preventing New Jersey from falling into the hands of a
MAGA loyalist, I’m going to ask you to [ [link removed] ]split what you can between my
team and State Democrats Committee to help me put that plan into action.

Here’s an unvarnished look at what the data tells us:

→Polling. Since the general election began a few weeks ago, one poll after
another has come out showing me with a small lead (often just 3-6%) over
Jack Ciattarelli — with more than enough undecided voters to swing the
outcome either way.

And that’s not even taking into account the possibility that the polls
could be underestimating Republicans,
John, as they have in several recent
elections. We need to campaign like we’re behind — because we may well be.

→Recent elections. The 2024 presidential race in New Jersey was decided by
less than 6% The last governor’s race here? Decided by just 3%. Recent
election results and recent polls all tell the same story: New Jersey is a
battleground state.

→Attack ads. Ciattarelli’s super PAC has announced plans to spend over a
million dollars attacking me across New Jersey, with plenty more planned
in the weeks ahead. One recent poll found that after undecided voters
heard these false attacks without a fact-check, they swung heavily in
Ciattarelli’s direction.

Here’s what this all means,
John: we are in an incredibly competitive
race, and we will only win it if we work night and day to get our message
out all across New Jersey. And that’s exactly what my team and I plan to
do.

We need to get out of the usual Democratic comfort zone and show up
everywhere so that voters can actually hear what we have to say.

We need to blanket the state with our plan for lowering costs and making
daily life easier for New Jersey families.

We need to reach out personally to undecided voters — and make sure every
single one of our supporters shows up to vote this fall.

And it won’t be enough to fight Ciattarelli and his dark-money machine to
a draw. We need to outhustle, outwork, and outsmart them every step of the
way.

[ [link removed] ]John, I’m all in on winning
this race for the people of New Jersey. I’ve spent my life running toward
tough fights, and I won’t hesitate to run toward this one. If you’re with
me, I need your support. Please split whatever you can between my campaign
and State Democrats Committee to help us win what is shaping up to be a
nail-biter of a race.
