There is nothing I love more than talking to Marylanders. So far, our campaign has held over 30 virtual events, and 300 Marylanders have attended our listening sessions. As we make our way out of this pandemic, I’m traveling to communities across the state to talk to Marylanders about what they care about most.

In our listening sessions, education always comes up as a major issue for Marylanders and their families. Whether it’s the quality of their children’s education, addressing the academic and socioemotional impact of school being disrupted by COVID, or the accessibility and affordability of higher education for adults, Marylanders are focused on how education can provide a brighter future for everyone in our state.

I’ve heard so many honest, vulnerable stories during these conversations. Knowing and telling our stories is essential in building campaigns that genuinely reflect our values and the things we're fighting for.

While I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to be spreading our message statewide, I know there is more we can do. I want to share my own story with Marylanders in every county through online, mail, and TV advertising efforts, so they become familiar with my progressive vision for our state. But to do so, we need sufficient funding.

Will you help our campaign have the resources necessary to spread our message far and wide by sending a contribution now?

Speaking to passionate individuals in Oxon Hill, Easton, Baltimore City, and across the state is what makes me more motivated than ever about this race. I want to serve as governor so that I can fight for the wonderful Marylanders I am meeting across the state.

Together, we’re building an extraordinary movement — but as you all know, we have many opponents in this race.

To help us continue to get our message out and stand out in this crowded field of candidates, will you please send a contribution to our campaign today? Every dollar makes a difference.

I couldn’t do this without you,

John
