Team,

Big news! This morning, 32BJ SEIU and SEIU Local 500 — two of Maryland's largest and most influential unions — have just announced their support for Tom and Shannon.

It's official: More than 120,000 Maryland workers in total now have Tom and Shannon's backs!

We're gaining powerful momentum from every corner of the state, but we can't win on momentum alone — The Washington Post just reported our race is gearing up to be the most expensive in history.

Tom needs an immediate surge of grassroots support to meet our critical quarterly fundraising goal and have the resources necessary to become the Democratic nominee! We set a goal of 219 new donors before midnight to scale up our campaign — but we need your help to close the gap. Please, rush in $5 or more to help Tom build on his momentum and win this primary >>

Team, if it weren't already apparent that Tom and Shannon are the best candidates in this race to fight for Maryland's working families in Annapolis, Jaime Contreras, Executive Vice President of 32BJ SEIU and Pia Morrison, President of SEIU Local 500 were crystal clear in their endorsements:

"What sets Tom Perez apart is that he experienced the struggles facing immigrant families and devoted 35 years to protecting the civil rights of minority communities and ensuring working-class families get their fair share. We will do whatever it takes to make the difference in this campaign because the difference he's made in people’s lives cannot be overstated." — Jaime Contreras   "Tom Perez and Shannon Sneed have a long history of standing with unions and working families and there is no clearer example of a more worker-friendly team. From championing Paid Family and Medical Leave, to fighting to increase wages for woefully underpaid public school support professionals, Tom has stood alongside our members time after time and we’re proud to stand alongside him now." — Pia Morrison

Team, Tom and Shannon have spent their entire careers fighting for working families, and they'll fight even harder in Annapolis, but it's going to take more than credentials and accolades to get there.

We need your grassroots support to help us scale up our voter outreach and communications efforts ahead of the primary. Please, can we count on you to chip in $5 or more before MIDNIGHT to help Tom continue to grow this campaign?

Thanks,

Sean Naron
Communications Director
Tom Perez for Maryland
