Hey there -

I know. Maybe you’re surprised a Kennedy is emailing you about Ed Markey, but I’m 100% with Ed in this fight.

In fact, I’m his finance director and the chair of the unofficial “Kennedys for Markey” caucus.

I want to reach out for the first time to give you some insight into why grassroots donations are so important to our campaign and ask you to make your first online donation.

Please consider making that donation right now. I even made a fun link that you can use:

EdMarkey.com/KennedysForMarkey

Look, I watch the numbers come in every day. There’s no denying that grassroots donors are the backbone of this campaign. There are thousands and thousands of people like you powering this campaign — already 47 of them are Kennedys!

Meanwhile, Joe Kennedy has been flexing his name and family connections to rake in lots of max-out checks. And now, he’s using his big money to spend millions on ads against us.

My job is to make sure this movement has the resources to fight back. I’m working hard to bring in the big bucks through small-dollar donations. Because unlike our opponent, a far greater amount of what we raise comes from grassroots donors chipping in whatever they can, whenever they are able to. That is why I am proud to be a member of this campaign and movement.

The only way we can compete with Joe Kennedy’s max-out machine is if all of us step up and do our part.

It’s going to take our collective power to win this fight, so that’s why I’m asking:

Will you make your first online donation today to fuel our campaign and make sure we re-elect Ed Markey? This is a grassroots movement, so every dollar goes a long way.

People have told me, no one’s ever beaten a Kennedy in Massachusetts. It’s undoubtedly a difficult challenge. But as a Kennedy, I believe our people-powered movement can do it.

Thank you in advance for making a donation today!
