Friend,

Below is this morning's announcement of my walk next week across New Hampshire — 105 miles from Chesterfield to Portsmouth. Since I announced my candidacy for President, I’ve talked about how we must unite this country through accountable leadership to people. The key is what Atticus explained to Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird: "You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them."

I ask you to support my walk for accountability to people by contributing below. We need a President who knows Americans, all Americans. We need a President who walks in their shoes and will unite America again.
 
Please contribute below for the amount of miles you can support my walking in the shoes of Americans.

Thank you!

$5 to kick off walk from Chesterfield $10 for 10 miles to Keene $22 for 22 miles to Dublin $28 for 28 miles to Peterborough $46 for 46 miles to Mont Vernon $62 for 62 miles to Manchester $77 for 77 miles to Raymond $97 for 97 miles to North Hampton $105 for 105 miles to Portsmouth

Respectfully,
Joe

ANNOUNCEMENT - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6TH

***PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE***

Since I announced my candidacy, I’ve talked about how we must unite this country through accountable leadership in Washington. And as Atticus explained to Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, "You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them." Not only have I believed this since I got into politics, but also in the U.S. Navy. It’s why, in 2015, I walked 422 miles across the entire breadth of my home state of Pennsylvania: to meet and understand people, and to show that I stood for them. And it’s why I’m announcing a walk across New Hampshire — 105 miles from Chesterfield, on the border with Vermont, to Portsmouth, where the harbor opens to the Atlantic Ocean, starting on October 13^th and ending October 20th.

After spending three months getting to know Iowans — driving 17,000 miles for 235 events and shaking nearly 30,000 hands — I want to listen to New Hampshirites and understand the challenges that they face as well, many of which are faced by working families across America. I’ll set out early every morning and finish late at night, walking along highways and byways, through towns and cities and rural communities. I'll be stopping along the way to talk with people about issues from education “training for a lifetime” to national security and healthcare (including the opioid crisis), and from small businesses and jobs to veterans and healthy habitats. I’ll be taking occasional breaks to stray from the route to attend other events throughout the day and evening — but when I do, I’ll put a stick in the ground and come back to the same point later on to continue the walk.

Join me — walk with me, attend any of the events below, or share my message on social media. We need a President who knows Americans, all Americans. We need a President who walks in their shoes and will unite America again.
