Last week, I met with my senior team, and at the end of the meeting, I made a big decision:

I told my team to place a massive new ad buy across New Jersey — earlier than we originally planned for.

I’m going to explain why we took this step, but if you support our decision to be bigger and bolder in our fight to defeat MAGA extremism here in New Jersey, I hope you’ll pitch in a few dollars to help close our budget gap and fund this new ad buy →

Here’s why we made this choice:

Jack Ciattarelli just made a massive investment in his own TV ads. $2,000,000 to be exact – and you can bet he’ll spend every dollar he can attacking me.

But we also know that when voters learn the truth about who I am, what I stand for, and how my vision for New Jersey differs from Ciattarelli’s, I earn their support.

And we know that, with the polls this tight and the stakes so incredibly high, we can’t afford to let Ciattarelli’s attacks go unanswered. Now is the time for us to think big and fight back.

This is how we do it. We’re going to get our message out everywhere. We’re going to make sure every voter knows the truth. And we’re going to do every damn thing within our power to win this fight for New Jersey’s future — and stop a MAGA lackey who takes marching orders from Trump from becoming our next governor.

To be candid with you, I made this choice because I believe that our grassroots team will come through the way you always have and help us power this campaign to victory. To close our budget gap and fund this big ad buy, we’ve set a goal of 100 online donations before midnight tonight. If you could step up and make a contribution, I would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you so much for your support. It means the world.
