When I was growing up, there were two options in my head: Follow in my dad’s footsteps and become a doctor, or play basketball and maybe even make it to the NBA. But John, those plans quickly fizzled out. I was cut from my college basketball team, and nearly flunked out of organic chemistry… on the same day. It wasn’t until someone knocked on my dorm room door and asked if I wanted to run for student government, I began to seriously think about elected office. And when I won? I saw exactly what dependable, commonsense leadership could accomplish. During my year as Student Association president, I was laser-focused on safety. We added more outdoor lights, blue light security phones, and even improved our shuttle service at night. Seeing my work make a real difference in folks’ lives — it was an amazing feeling, John. And I’ve been doing the same ever since. Working hard to make sure folks can be safe and feel safe in their communities, putting more money in families’ pockets, bringing folks together, and protecting your Constitutional freedoms from those who want to sabotage them. Look, I know politics gets a bad rap — and a lot of the time, it’s justified. But I saw it in college then, and I’m seeing it today as your Governor: Good things happen when leaders are focused on delivering for others. I’m damn proud of everything we’ve accomplished together, John. But I’m not naive: The far-right has piles of cash stashed away to boost a candidate who is solely focused on appeasing Donald Trump — not the good people of Pennsylvania. So today, I’m humbly asking: Will you chip in a donation of any amount to help us stay on track for victory here in Pennsylvania? I know we’ll have what it takes to win on Election Day, but only if folks like you get off the sidelines and into the game. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
