John,

When I decided to run for Lieutenant Governor, the first thing people asked me was, "Why are you running?" What I don't often get asked now that I'm an elected official is why I do what I do — even when it's hard. Before I tell you my why, can you chip in $10 before our end-of-quarter deadline at midnight?

My why is the people of Pennsylvania, it's that simple.

My why is the hard-working people I grew up with in Mon Valley — factory workers, teachers, who are the lifeblood of our state.

My why is my mom and dad, a hairdresser and a union bus driver. I watched them juggle bills, put food on the table, and raise a family.

My why is my wife, Blayre, and my daughter Harper, who both deserve access to reproductive healthcare and bodily autonomy.

Knowing my why is what gets me up in the morning and what motivates me to fight for the people of Pennsylvania every day. Maybe your why is like mine. You're worried about your parents' social security or your neighbor's Medicare. You care about people.

While I'm on the front lines standing up for our people, my team is working hard on my re-election campaign. We're only a few hours away from the final deadline before the quarter ends. This is the perfect moment to show your support! Will you chip in $10 so I can keep fighting?

What's your why, John?
