Team,

21,311 votes made the difference in my race against Roy Moore in Alabama, so trust me when I say: I know a tough fight when I see one. And Tom Perez is in a tough fight for Maryland Governor.

Here's the deal: Tom is locked in a crowded primary in a “toss up” race that's forecasted to be one of the most expensive in Maryland's history. Once he makes it to the general, he'll go up against a Republican challenger with a massive war chest in a state that’s elected a Republican to the governor's office in three out of the last five elections.

Winning races like this one isn't a passive choice – it's an active fight – one that requires millions of dollars in resources and sustained, grassroots support from people just like you, who believe in Tom’s vision and know what he will do for Maryland families beginning on his first day in office.

So, I'm humbly asking you to join me in supporting my friend, Tom Perez, for Governor of Maryland with a grassroots contribution of $10 or more today. His first public filing deadline is at midnight tonight, and it would mean the world to the both of us to know you have Tom’s back.

Tom and I have been friends and colleagues since he led the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, so I can honestly tell you that I know of no one else who will prioritize the needs of Maryland families with the same level-headed dedication that Tom will.

Tom is an experienced, action-oriented leader, who brings people together to solve tough problems, knowing that the best solutions are those born from the spirit of inclusivity, equity, and mutual respect – not ego.

That's the kind of leader Maryland needs – a leader who pushes forward in the face of an ongoing pandemic and addresses real issues facing Marylanders like threats to the environment and systemic inequities in employment, housing, education, and health care.

I'm proud to support Tom. I hope you'll join me in pitching in ahead of his first public filing deadline, ensuring he has the resources needed to win, flip Maryland’s governor's office from red to blue, and fight for Maryland families.

Thank you for all you do,

Senator Doug Jones
