Here’s the deal, John:

We just learned that a new opponent jumped into the race — an opponent who’s starting out with nearly $2 million in the bank. That means it’s more important than ever that we show there’s strong support standing behind Val and our campaign.

We know that Val is the candidate with the determination to win this race and get things done for Pennsylvanians, from expanding access to affordable health care and strengthening our economy, to defending every American’s right to cast their ballot.

We also know that all eyes will be on us to see what we do next, which means we need your help to show Pennsylvania that Val has momentum to win.

We are setting a goal to bring in 5,000 grassroots contributions in the next 48 hours to help show that we are building a people-powered campaign.

Val is someone who always steps up to help out when it’s most needed. Will you step up today to show the support behind her campaign?

Please chip in $5, $10, $15, or more to help us hit our grassroots donation goal and show Val has the momentum behind her to win this race.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Pennsylvania is ready for a new kind of leader in Washington, not another politician who says one thing and does another. It’s time for action. It’s time to get stuff done.

But we need your help to get there. If you can, join us today so we can prove to folks that there is real grassroots momentum behind Val and our campaign.

Let’s get to work!

—Team Val
