Before I get to my update, I want to make sure you know about our urgent fundraising deadline coming up in just three days. Our finances will go public in April, and that will show all the forces running against me exactly where we stand with our grassroots donation outreach.

We set an ambitious goal, but my finance director Blakely says that donations have slowed over the past day, so I wanted to send you a note, personally. We need to raise $1,273 today to stay on track. Will you chip in $10 today?

This is so important, and it’s part of why I’m reaching out to you.

Over the past month, our opponent has appeared on Steve Bannon’s far-right “War Room” podcast to discuss the race, and Bannon himself called PA-08 the most important race in 2022. He’s also appeared on the farther-right-than-Fox OAN News to appeal to the most radical parts of the Republican party.

He’s proud of all this outreach to the far-right – he’s even running ads featuring Bannon to fundraise against me.

This is why we must prevail in November. Someone who’s on the side of people like Steve Bannon has no place in our government where he’ll slash our democratic freedoms and give millions of dollars in tax writeoffs to massive corporations.

If we lose this election, the House will gain another extremist cut from the cloth of Steve Bannon, Steve Scalise (who endorsed my opponent!), and Kevin McCarthy.

I need your help to reach this critical goal so we have the funds to share our positive message with Pennsylvania voters. Will you chip in $200, $100, or even just $25 today?

Thanks for your support,

Matt
