Did you see Matt’s email (see below)?Hey John. Did you see Matt’s email (see below)?
Our Republican opponent Jim Bognet is on the air, and we are diligently working to make sure we have the resources we need to make sure Matt isn’t drowned out.
But we are still $1,870 short of our rapid response fundraising goal — our original deadline was Friday but there’s still time to catch up! If you’re able and willing to help us boost our paid communications budget, will you contribute at the custom ActBlue link below so we can keep track of everyone who helped Matt respond to this new development?

Team — I wanted to be the one to give you this truly major update about the state of our race in Pennsylvania’s top swing district:
Our Republican opponent has just gone live with his first TV ad.
There’s a real risk that this new ad will drown out our message and help our opponent Jim Bognet gain the upper hand in flipping this critical toss-up seat from blue to red.
But we have a plan to fight back. We need to raise $3,000 by Friday at 4pm ET so that we can boost our paid communications budget and make sure our ads can keep up with our Republican opponent.
Friends, I would love nothing more than to convince every single voter in Northeastern Pennsylvania to vote blue in November one-by-one myself. But if that was impossible in normal times, it’s even more impossible in the COVID-19 era of social distancing.
