John,
One year ago today, we launched our campaign for the United States Senate.
I’m *so* proud of everything we’ve accomplished since then. 💛 It’s impossible to sum it all up, but I’m going to highlight a few of my favorite things from the past year.
Before we dive in, remember this: Every single thing we’ve achieved together has been powered by grassroots donors. So in honor of the one year we’ve spent fighting together to flip Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat, I hope you’ll make a donation of any size to keep us going strong, John.
OK, here comes my highlight reel. You ready, John?
1. Showing up for organized labor
This fall, workers from all across PA — and the country — stood up, went on strike, and demanded to be treated better in their workplace.
On the picket line with BCTGM Local 374G in Lancaster and Ironworkers Local 851 in Erie
From cereal workers at the Kellogg’s factory in Lancaster demanding living wages, to Erie Strayer Ironworkers demanding safe working conditions, we saw that the Union Way of Life is still the backbone of our country.
Workers will *always* have my support, and I’m proud to have stood alongside them.
2. Showing up for local Dems in ruby red PA counties
On Zoom and in-person, 2021 was filled with weekend road trips across the Commonwealth to visit some of our most passionate PA Democrats, some deep in the heart of Republican counties.
Mercer + Somerset County Dem Picnics + the Pennsylvania Cannabis Festival, Summer 2021
Meeting yinz + youse all across our Commonwealth is why I’m running for U.S. Senate to begin with. Turning Pennsylvania blue in 2022 is a 67 County race, and we’ve *always* been the 67 County campaign.
I hope that we’ll soon be back in-person + having these picnics again. You know I’ll be there.
3. Grassroots donations from 88% of PA zip codes
What I may be most proud of is grassroots support from folks like you. Our campaign has received more than 170,000 donations in total + contributions from more than 88% of PA’s zip codes. Gisele and I have been overwhelmed with gratitude.
That ☝️ is what 88% of PA zip codes looks like
Since we launched, I’ve said that we’re running a true 67 County campaign, because that’s what it takes to win. You can’t buy PA with millions of dollars in self-funded money or corporate donations, or just by picking up voters in Southwest and Southeast PA.
You win PA with votes from everywhere, urban + rural. And with your help, that’s what we’re going to do.
Because we’ve still got a lot of work ahead of us. But wow, am I grateful, and beyond proud of this movement.
Thank you, THANK YOU, thank you, 🙏
John
