Hey there, John — it's Lisa here, Josh Shapiro’s Research Director.

Independent analysts like FiveThirtyEight rated the race for Pennsylvania Governor a Toss Up — and that means this race is about to get expensive, and fast.

The presidential race in 2016 was decided by 40,000 votes in Pennsylvania — in 2020, only 80,000 votes — in a state of 13 million. Our race in 2022 could be decided by just thousands of votes, which means we need all the resources we can get to win over swing votes and mobilize Democratic voters to the polls.

But John, with your help we’re going to get across the line. So could you rush a contribution — $5 or whatever you can swing? It’s going to make a difference in this race.

Thank you,

Lisa Swanson
