Tom Perez for Maryland [[link removed]]
Hi team,

Tom wanted me to make sure that you saw the big news from yesterday – we received the endorsement of 32BJ SEIU and SEIU Local 500!

This is a huge moment for Tom and Shannon's campaign, and we need to make the most of it. We're still short of the 219 donor goal we set yesterday – please chip in $3 or more now to help hit it >>. [[link removed]]

Collectively, unions representing 120,000 households across Maryland have endorsed Tom, and it's easy to see why.

Tom believes that when unions succeed, Maryland succeeds. As governor, he'll always ensure that workers have a seat at the table to work together to create a Maryland where no one working a full-time job struggles to feed their family, where workers are treated with dignity and respect, where they are able to organize and collectively bargain for their rights.

But don't take my word for it: Read our announcement below to hear Jaime Contreras, executive vice president of 32BJ SEIU, and Pia Morrison, president of SEIU Local 500, share why they're proud members of Team Tom and consider donating to keep this momentum going. [[link removed]]

Thank you,

Sean Naron,
Communications Director

Subject: 120,000 workers have Tom's back!

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 >> [[link removed]]

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." [[link removed]]

"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." [[link removed]]
— 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? [[link removed]]

Thanks,

Team Tom
