John,

Now that we’re almost one month into 2022 — and just a few hours away from our January fundraising deadline — I want to take a second to talk strategy.

For the past few months, with your help, we’ve been building a grassroots movement that out-raised our machine-backed opponent 2 to 1 in our first quarter of fundraising. We’ve earned support from groups like Brand New Congress, local chapters of the Sunrise Movement, and prominent community leaders. And we won the fight to give Black voters in NJ-10 fair representation.

Now, we’ve got a movement that’s ready to give New Jersey’s corrupt political machine and the Democratic establishment a run for their money. And from now until the June primary, our job is to grow that movement and direct our grassroots power towards progressive change.

But what matters today isn’t what we can do with the next few months. It’s what we can do with the next few hours.

We’re hours away from our first major fundraising deadline of 2022, and these numbers will set the tone for the rest of this race. So I’m personally asking — if you’re with me in the fight for progressive change, please use this link to make a contribution before time runs out: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/e-io-january2022?refcode=John

If we make this deadline count, we can prove that our grassroots army is stronger than Rep. Payne Jr.’s corporate donors. We can build on our momentum, uplift marginalized voices, and elect a true progressive to fight for our communities in Congress.

But we need your help to make this deadline count. If you can, please click here to chip in before midnight and help us meet our goal: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/e-io-january2022?refcode=John

Thanks!
