Hey there, 

Josh Shapiro just announced his re-election campaign for Governor of Pennsylvania, and I wanted to reach out to ask if you would consider joining me in supporting him by splitting a contribution between his campaign and Win the Era today.

Friend, I want to tell you why this matters so much. At a moment when our politics too often rewards chaos and spectacle, Josh has taken a steadier approach: treating democracy not as a slogan, but as a means to deliver for people. He understands that all of this is about how leaders can show up and make people’s lives better in concrete ways.

I saw this up close when we teamed up to deal with a catastrophic collapse that shut down I-95 in Philadelphia – a critical artery for Pennsylvania and the entire East Coast economy. Josh and I worked together across levels of government, cut through red tape, and rebuilt that roadway in record time – just 12 days – because people needed it done and government had a duty to act.

That response wasn’t an exception. It’s how Josh leads.

Whether it’s responding to a crisis or partnering to deliver major long-term infrastructure investments – like replacing the aging I-83 South Bridge – he stays focused on outcomes that make a real difference for people. And that matters more than ever.

Across the country, there are forces trying to convince people that democracy can’t deliver and that government can’t work. Leaders like Josh prove otherwise. This is a time to remember that progress happens when leaders take their most basic responsibilities seriously – and trust can be built when people see results.

That’s an example of a more durable source of hope in government and politics. Not abstract or performative, but rooted in action, care, and a commitment to get things done.

If you’re able, I hope you’ll consider making a split contribution between Win the Era and Josh’s campaign today to become a founding donor, and help give him the strongest start possible to his re-election efforts.

Thank you,

Pete
