John, I just made a major announcement, and Democracy Defense Action said I could reach out to share the news with you.

I'm running for U.S. Senate because our country is in crisis, and Massachusetts deserves leadership that’s ready to meet the urgency of this moment.

Donald Trump and his administration are tearing down our democracy, weaponizing the government against their political opponents, and dividing our country like never before. Meanwhile, establishment politicians — including those in our own party — are standing still while the world changes around us.

Senator Markey is a good man, but he has been in Congress for half a century. Going along to get along isn’t real leadership. Massachusetts deserves a senator who’s willing to change the status quo and deliver results that match the urgency of our time.

We need a new generation of leaders with the courage to act now to defend our democracy, rebuild our economy, and deliver bold solutions for everything from the cost of living to the future of work, AI, climate change, and to make a government actually work for people again.

I’ve never been one to sit on the sidelines or wait to act. I’m not playing politics while our country and our values are under attack. When I saw Washington stuck, I ran against the establishment and won. When Democrats needed to flip red districts but weren’t backing the outsiders who could win, my team got to work and delivered. When Congress dragged its feet on mental health, I helped create the 988 crisis lifeline to save lives.

We need real change. And we need it now -- not six years from now. I'm running for the U.S. Senate to serve you. When I see a problem, I step up to fix it. That’s the kind of leadership this moment demands.

This fight will require all of us, John. Will you help us launch a strong campaign by splitting a contribution between me and Democracy Defense Action?

Thank you,

Seth
