John,

Let's talk about corporate political action committees, also (perhaps
better) known as corporate PACs.

Corporate PACs are formed by “special interests”—groups that seek to
influence policy to further specific and defined priorities—to funnel
millions of dollars into our elections. Last election cycle, corporate
PACs donated $170 million to propel policies that’ll boost their bottom
lines, even if those measures will hurt families, fuel the climate crisis,
and threaten small businesses.

With checks that big, John, it
doesn't take a whiteboard to connect these contributions to certain
elected officials' hesitancy to rein in Big Pharma, Big Oil, and the
banks. This hesitancy and undue influence is why it's so important that
candidates commit to NOT taking any corporate PAC money, and that’s why
I’m proud to say that I’ve rejected all funding from these sources since
my first election in 2018.

My decision to reject corporate funding does make fundraising a bit more
challenging—but I don’t care. I don't fight on behalf of special interests
or corporations, and their large contributions won't ever influence me. I
work for the American people, and therefore my campaign runs on the power
of the small-dollar, grassroots donations we receive each day.

John, which is why I’m asking: Will you please
chip in $3 or whatever you can afford to our campaign? Your
contribution helps us secure the resources we need to stay competitive in
this next election cycle and keep this seat blue.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your
contribution instantly:

I’ve spent my entire career standing up to corporate
greed, John, and I don’t plan
on stopping any time soon. Families deserve representatives who'll work
for them, not for big checks.

Thank you,

Katie
