John,

This week, WHYY reached out to Chris Coons again, asking him to debate Jess. And again, Coons refused to comment.

We can guess why — Jess is a values-driven, clear-eyed opponent. You know what she stands for, and so does Coons: Medicare for All, a Green New Deal and a Homes Guarantee. She will fight for a coronavirus relief package that protects our most vulnerable, and benefits all of us.

Coons is scared to debate Jess. Let’s show him how powerful our movement is.

The pandemic has revealed our country’s deep-seated, systemic problems. Jess is the only one in this race with the courage to face these challenges head-on. Here’s her plan:

• Reinstate the $2,000 relief package, ensuring that every person gets a check each month.
• Ensure all essential workers get hazard pay.
• Cancel all student debt.
• Place an immediate moratorium on evictions.

Typically, Jess would get to share this plan during a debate. But because Coons won’t agree to one. He doesn’t want working-class voters like us to know that Jess is on our side. That’s why we need to make sure that every Democrat hears directly from our team. If Coons is too scared to debate, we’ll bring our vision straight to voters.

With courage,

Team Jess
