The King's Chronicle: April 5, 2022
Hi Team,
Welcome to April! We are proud to be starting this new month on a high, after closing out the last month with such a strong finish to our end-of-quarter deadline —which was made possible by supporters like you.
Before we dive into what John and Michelle have been up to over the last few weeks we wanted to address and make sure that all of you are aware that the Maryland Democratic primary has been pushed from June 28th to July 19th. While we look forward to this extra time to grow our winning coalition, the date change also means we need to ramp up our fundraising so we have the resources to stay up on TV and reach more voters. If you are able, please consider making a donation of whatever you can today: [link removed] [[link removed]]
We hope you keep scrolling to catch up on the latest news updates, check out some event recaps, and find out more ways to get involved with the campaign. As always, thank you for your continued support of this campaign — it means everything to John, Michelle, and the rest of our team.
Thank you for all that you do!
Onward,
Team King
