John,

This is the message we hoped we wouldn’t have to send—we’re now officially behind budget heading into the final stretch before Pennsylvania votes in their critical November 2025 Supreme Court Election.

If we don’t close this gap immediately, we risk running out of resources at the exact moment the far-right is unloading a tidal wave of dark-money ads to steal the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

There is no worse time to fall short than right now.

The truth:

Our rapid-response programs were built assuming we’d keep pace with their spending. We didn’t. And with just 13 days left until the November elections, we are dangerously close to scaling back — just as right-wing spending surges.

If MAGA extremists capture this seat, they’ll have a runway to contest the 2028 presidential election with a court primed to rule in their favor. They don’t need Congress. They don’t need a legislature. They just need one judicial majority — and Pennsylvania is the one they’re targeting.

If we fail to hold the line here, we hand them the legal weapon they tried to use in 2020 — except next time it won’t be blocked.

That is exactly why the right is outspending us: because they know the court can decide the presidency.

We are short right now. We need help today. Rush an emergency donation before midnight to help us close the gap.

This is not a drill. This is not “early.” This is the red-zone moment — and we are behind.
