True story, John: I legitimately
won my first election by a *single* vote.

I’ll tell you the whole story, but first I’m wondering if there’s any
chance you could [ [link removed] ]please make your very first $5 donation
to help our campaign raise $100,000 before the end-of-quarter FEC deadline
tomorrow at midnight?

Serving as Mayor of Braddock for 15 years was the greatest honor of my
life. But the truth is that it almost didn’t happen at all.

Back in May 2005, the Democratic primary for Mayor of Braddock was locked
in a dead heat. Winning the primary meant everything, because no other
candidates were on the November ballot. Whoever won the primary became the
next mayor.

Unfortunately, Election Day didn't bring a clear winner. The unofficial
results showed a tie for the mayoral nomination between me and one other
opponent. The absentee ballots had all been counted, but the write-ins
were still outstanding. So we went into a recount.

It was a month before the results were finally certified. In the end, it
all came down to *three* provisional ballots cast in Braddock’s 2nd Ward.

The first ballot was rejected because the voter wasn't registered. The
second ballot only counted for countywide races, because the voter wasn't
registered in Braddock.

But the third voter was registered in Braddock — and ultimately, they cast
the single deciding vote that elected me Mayor of Braddock. The joke I
never get tired of is that I voted for myself. 😂 Here’s the actual
headline in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from 16 years ago:

John, I’m telling you this
story ~24 hours away from our end-of-quarter FEC deadline to show you just
how critical reaching every single voter in this Democratic primary for
U.S. Senate is. I may have won my first election by a *single* vote, but
we can’t afford to lose the Pennsylvania Senate seat by a *single* vote.

In order to reach every voter in all 67 Pennsylvania counties in the
coming weeks, though, we absolutely must raise $100,000 online through
emails like this one before tomorrow at midnight. That’s why I am humbly
asking:

[ [link removed] ]Can you please make your *first-ever* $5
donation to help our campaign raise $100,000 before the FEC deadline
tomorrow, June 30?

From me, Gisele, and our entire family, thank you so much for supporting
our campaign.

— John

John Fetterman

P.S. If you haven’t already heard, me + Gisele are calling a list of
online donors this week to say Thank You for donating before our huuuuuuge
end-of-quarter FEC deadline tomorrow at midnight. [ [link removed] ]It’s the least we
can do if you chip in for the first
time before Wednesday, June 30.
