Hi there, it’s Annie — Josh Shapiro’s Digital Director!

I wanted to talk to you today about how important it is to receive early, dependable support from our grassroots community — but before I get into the details, would you consider starting a recurring donation to Josh’s campaign for Governor?

For the next nine months, we have a massive challenge ahead of us: to win the Governor’s race and keep Pennsylvania blue — all while running against a field of 15 pro-Trump, GOP extremists spreading the Big Lie and spending millions of dollars to flip Pennsylvania red.

But winning in November is a whole lot easier with a strong, dedicated team on our side.

Chipping in consistently every month is how you can have the most impact in the race — $5 contributed monthly, starting today, has a much greater impact than the same amount given in October. That’s because we can count on that support from now until Election Day — and plan far into the future for hiring staff, talking to voters, and running ads.

I know making a monthly donation is above and beyond the regular level of support, but it will pay off throughout this campaign. With you on our powerful team, John, we can elect Josh and keep Pennsylvania blue. Will you start a monthly gift now?

Here are some of my favorite ways that show how dependable support early on in a campaign can make a massive difference:

• Persuading voters to elect Josh wherever they are — on TV or online — can cement our base of support before Republicans have the chance to lie about his record.


• We can get folks on the ground to start talking to voters and making inroads in swing counties early on when they’re more receptive to our message.


• Making sure our campaign has the staff it needs to get people excited for the 2022 election, spread the word about Josh, and run a strong campaign.

Over the past two years, we’ve seen just how much impact a Governor can have and how important in-state elections are — from red states like Texas and Mississippi trying to outlaw abortion to blue states like Washington and New York expanding access to the ballot box.

It’s clear that democracy is on the line in this election, and Democratic Governors are our last line of defense. But we can’t win this race without monthly support from our team — including you, John.

If you can, can you chip in a monthly donation now to maximize your impact in keeping Pennsylvania blue?

There’s so much more that we as a campaign can do if we know we can rely on your support, so thank you for being on our team.
