Good evening,

Thanks to supporters like you who made it possible, John and this team have had an exciting month. From announcing Michelle Siri for Lieutenant Governor to reporting the second highest fundraising numbers to launching our new website, we are so grateful for your continued support. We couldn't have done any of this without the help of this amazing team. 

We're so inspired by the new-year momentum sweeping through our campaign and look forward to all that this team will accomplish in the coming months. We hope you'll read on to check out some recent campaign highlights, news clippings, event recaps, and upcoming ways to get involved or meet John and Michelle.

Onward,
Team King

Team King Updates

SIRIous MOMENTUM : Earlier this month, Michelle Siri officially joined the campaign as John's running mate. From her advocacy work as the Executive Director of the Women’s Law Center, Board President of Planned Parenthood Maryland, and as a former Maryland Assistant Attorney General, Michelle brings a wealth of Maryland public policy experience and we could not be more excited to have her join the team!

PUTTING THE FUN IN FUNDRAISING : After submitting our first public fundraising report and taking a closer look at our stats, we are so humbled and inspired by the makeup of this grassroots team. Educators and education professionals made up the largest professional block of contributors, and in the last month alone we raised over $600k from mostly first-time donors.

5 MONTH COUNTDOWN EVENT : This Friday, January 28th marks five months until our June primary election and we're having a cocktail event to kick off the countdown! We hope you can join us for this virtual grassroots fundraiser SIPporting John and Michelle, more information about the event is below and you can RSVP here: [link removed]
