Friend,
We now have a Republican opponent.
But this campaign has never been about partisan politics.
From the very beginning, it's been about all of us working together. It's about talking to our neighbors and friends --
regardless of political affiliation -- about how we all want our community to have good-paying jobs, strong public schools, and affordable health care.
Unfortunately, an opponent means that special interest groups and lobbying forces will soon enter this race too. And as we've seen in elections past, they will try to win this election with negativity and divisiveness. They will spend millions on ads that falsely attack me and don't offer solutions to the challenges we face.
If we win this battleground race, it will be because we did the work.
It will be because we talked to more voters about the issues that matter. It will be because we've proven what is possible when we connect with one another through love and compassion instead of negativity and fear-mongering.
Look, an opponent means the race for 2022 is officially on, and it's important for us to work together in moments like this. If you can, please chip in to support our grassroots campaign so we can take on the other side and win.
