Hi, John xxxxxx, it’s Governor Josh Shapiro.
I’m reaching out because our fundraising has slowed down at the worst possible moment, and I’m hoping you can help us out.
But I also need to confess something — and this isn’t something you’ll hear from many other elected officials.
I don’t want you to chip in just because of a fundraising deadline.
I want you to chip in because you believe in the same things I do.
That freedom and opportunity should triumph over chaos and cruelty. That our government works best when it’s working for everyone — not the guy at the very top.
But I’m not naive. Good ideas on their own don’t win elections.
Not when you’re running in the most competitive, most expensive swing state in the entire country. That’s why these deadlines matter.
Thank you. I’m truly grateful.
Josh Shapiro
