John,
Last week, the state of Florida passed a bill to limit mail-in voting, restrict the use of ballot drop boxes, and discourage any interaction with people standing in line to vote -- making it the latest state to sign voter suppression into its laws.
The impact of Trump's election fraud lies is being felt nationwide as states like Georgia, Florida, and Texas write and pass voter suppression bills because they can't believe Trump lost. That's why I am so proud to have helped the House pass the For The People Act. If this bill passes the Senate, it will finally end partisan gerrymandering, expand mail-in voting, and establish automatic voter registration -- in short, it would make sure that as many people as possible will have access to the ballot box so we can have a fair democracy.
But with the GOP so determined to suppress voters -- especially voters of color -- they're already fighting this bill with everything they have, from the halls of the Senate to ground campaigns. They need gerrymandering and voter suppression to win, so they'll do everything they can to stop the For The People Act from becoming law.
Of course, this is a fight for justice at the ballot box, but it's also a fight for my seat. We're in a redistricting year, and I want to keep fighting for you, your family, and your community -- but Pennsylvania is losing a congressional seat, and there's no telling what underhanded gerrymandering tactics the PA GOP might resort to as they try to rearrange our districts to give themselves the best chance at victory.
We need to pass the For The People Act, but I also need to be prepared for what happens if Republicans in the Senate stop it in its tracks and I'm in for a harder reelection fight than ever before. You've been with me every step of the way, but I need to ask for your help again now.
