Hi there,
It’s such a pleasure to write to you for the first time. I’m at home here in South Bend, around the block from where Peter and Chasten live. They aren’t here as frequently as they used to be, spending time on the campaign trail and all. But I’m so proud of what they’re doing. If you share my sense of pride, can you chip in a donation to get us closer to the campaign’s $1.5 million end-of-quarter goal?

Peter’s using his candidacy to elevate urgent issues that are impacting the lives of so many, and I’ve heard what his fresh vision for our country could do for people. You see, I volunteer at campaign headquarters in South Bend a couple days a week. I try to help out with whatever I can, and that mostly means reading and responding to the vast amount of letters Peter gets. (Chasten gets a lot, too!)
As you can imagine, the stories people share with us are moving. They have a way of grounding you back into reality -- into a purpose. The mother that’s lost a child to gun violence. The people, young and old, terrified of rampant climate crisis. The gay person who, while hopeful to see someone like them can become president, is still afraid of hate and discrimination within their community.
Monotonous arguments in Washington -- the same old conversations we’ve had throughout Peter’s lifetime -- have a way of making these stories into abstracts. But they’re not. They are the most urgent issues of our time being experienced and felt in real time . We can’t lose sight of that. Peter sure isn’t. He’s always been laser-focused on challenges. When he was younger it was things like learning to play the piano. Now, it’s about putting bold solutions into place.
All of this connects back to the campaign’s big, end-of-quarter push to raise $1.5 million. As I see it, one of the best ways to show the people who write Peter that we’re fighting for them is by building the best campaign possible. We’ve got to win for change to happen. Maybe you could say I’m biased when I tell you Peter has all the makings of president. I suppose most mothers would say that about their child.
But the thing is, as a member of the incredible movement Peter’s building, I think you believe it to. And if you do, I’d appreciate it if you could make your very first donation to this campaign and help us get to that $1.5 million before the third quarter ends. In what it says and what it does, achieving that goal has so much power in carrying Peter’s momentum to even greater levels.

I look forward to sharing more with you as the campaign progresses. Thank you for being a part of it. Thank you for believing in Peter, like I do.
